Note that the FAQ distributed with Mj is incorrect and has been
superceded. The updated text reads:
Any mail which is not "approved", gets bounced with "Approval
required". If the moderator wishes to approve the message for the
list, then you need to tag the message as "approved" and send it to
the list. The "approve" script which comes with Majordomo does this
for you. If you don't have access to "approve" (e.g. you're not on a
UNIX system with Perl), you have to do it by hand. The easiest way is
to forward the original message to the list, add the line "Approved:
_approval-password_" to the very first line of the body, and then the
entire contents of the original message. (meaning there should not be
a blank line before and after the "Approved:" line.)
Note that last parenthetical statement.

Note that you have a blank line between the Approved header and the
original headers. That will put bogus headers on the outgoing message
and include the orginal headers in the body of the posted message.

They meant the approve *script*. If you insert the header manually, it's
spelled "Approved:". If you use the approve script, you just pipe the
entire bounced message, complete with full headers, to approve.

That's what I hate about responses not being Cc'ed to the list:
propagation of misinformation without refutation. I'll assume said
"someone" meant (and indicated) the listname.passwd. That file is
deprecated and such a statement is incorrect. The 'admin_passwd' in the
listname.config file always works and the 'approve_passwd' works for
approvals going to the list (as opposed to majordomo), i.e. moderation
approvals.
