Although a list owner is also, by default, a list moderator, it is possible to delegate moderator's duties to someone else to handle the approval/rejection of posts. This is especially useful as a short-term measure during list owner's holidays or in the event of his/her illness.
To assign a moderator to a maillist, do the following:
- Click on the name of the existing maillist at the Mail menu > Maillists page. The maillist General tab is shown.
- Move to the Moderators tab. This screen displays the list of added maillist moderators. If you don't have any Email addresses assigned to be the maillist moderator's ones, the list will be empty.
- Click the Add New Moderator button. The Add New Moderator dialog opens.
- Enter the Email address of the person who will act as a maillist moderator. You can specify as many moderator's Email addresses as you wish. Use "Enter", "Semicolon", "Comma" or "Space" for entering multiple addresses.
- Click Submit to save the new moderators' addresses.
