Were running v1.93 on eskimo.com and I'm having a few problems understanding some things, and hope someone might be kind enough to clarify.

PROBLEM 1:

I've set moderated to yes.  However, in test messages from an outside account (on the subscriber list) to the mailing list, the message never shows up in my list-owner's email for approval.  It's like the message dissappears into the ether.  Where to look for this problem?  In the config file for the list?


PROBLEM 2: 
In reading the docs and some Web sites about majordomo, I'm of the impression that if a list is moderated, someone other than the moderator can post to the list by including the "Approved:" command at the top of the message text.  (Thereby bypassing the moderator's need to approve).  Is this correct?  If so, exactly how is it done?  (Format, as I have seen two slightly different suggestions on this, regarding the placement of the Approved command; any special setting in the config file?).

Format such as?---

First line of message:  Approved: approve-password
Second line of message:  First line of message

Help would be appreciated.
