If your aliases, sendmail, and majordomo are properly
configured, moderation is set in your listname.config
file.  When messages come into "resend" via the alias
for your list, the setting is used to bounce/forward
the message to the address of the moderator for
approval before distributing the message to the members
of the list.  You do not need to use pine to moderate a
list.

Do you have a listname-approval alias defined?  Does it
expand to a valid (deliverable) address?
