(B)
To change the default for rejection/distribution notifications on the web 
page, you need to edit the web template so that the checkbox for 'reject 
without notification' defaults to being checked.  To do this, copy your 
default modindex.tt2 file into your /etc/sympa/web_tt2 directory (or wherever 
you have configured to store this) and edit it to add 'CHECKED=1' to the 
INPUT tag with name "quiet":

<input type=checkbox name="quiet" checked="1">[%|loc %]Reject without 
notification [%END%]</option>

(A)
To prevent senders from receiving a "You email is being queued for 
moderation" email, you need to change the Send Scenario configuration.  Copy 
the  default scenari/send.XXX file (for the XXX scenario) to your 
/etc/sympa/scenari directory (or wherever you have configured this to be).  
For example, the 'send.editorkey' or 'send.announcekey'.  Now you can 
customise it without risking your changed being overwritten by a future 
upgrade.  

In the scenario definition, you will find a line that ends with "-> 
editorkey".  This is the line that tells sympa to send the message for 
moderation.  Change this to be "-> editorkey,quiet" to prevent notification 
of queuing from being sent to the sender.  Note that you can also add the 
',quiet' suffix to the 'do_it' and 'reject' actions and other scenari in 
order to prevent notifications from being sent out.
