*sigh* Why is it that every time the question, "How do I configure the list
to reject all non-admin postings without making the admin manually reject
them?" comes up, someone has to respond with, "Easy - just tell the list to
hold non-admin posts for approval."?

"Hold for approval" is not the same as "reject unconditionally without admin
intervention".
