Yes, thank you for making things clearer.

Actually I thought that "moderated" meant that one had to be an
"approved" subscriber.

I had set "The moderation policy of the newsgroup" to "moderated".
Thank you. This may be where my problem is. If I now set that to
"none" then do you, or anyone else here, know whether posts will
go to the newsgroup by non Mailman members ?
Thanks again everyone. You have all been a big help to make things
clearer for me.
