The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaun <address@concealed>]

Hi,

send.editor is Sympa's old style of moderation :
        1/ Sympa sends to the moderator
                * an original copy of the message
                * a copy tagged as "Article to be approved" 
        2/ The second  copy of the message is just meant to
           catch the moderator's eyes.
        3/ The redistributes the message to the list. Sympa knows
          check the mesages's X-Sender header field.

This is not used anymore and the scenario should be renamed "old-style
moderation".

'md5' in List::send_to_editor() means that Sympa uses moderation keys to
distribute/reject messages. It's much more efficient and it does a
better
message encapsulation job.

I don't think making old-style moderation MIME-compliant is worth.
