There is no option to automatically notify the sender when her post is
approved. If the sender is a list member, she will presumably know her
post was approved when she receives it from the list.

If the sender is not a list member, you need to do something manually.
Typically, what I do on my lists is discard the post and forward the
message from the notice to the admin to the list with Cc: to the
sender. That way, the sender knows the post went to the list, and the
list members know it was a non-member post and know how to include the
original sender in a reply. This works for me because I 'approve' very
few non-member posts. YMMV.
