Yeah, messages don't appear until I approve them.  It's
a compromise between having a delay, and having a constant
stream of spam offering to enlarge your manliness, etc.

There are a bunch of mailman admin options which
control this sort of thing:

 - Must posts be approved by an administrator?
   (Currently "Yes".  I've turned this on so I
   can delete spam).

 - Restrict posting privilege to list members? 
   (Currently "No".  I've turned this off so that
   geniune non-members can post to the list, for
   example, Rekha Deshmukh's post last week).

 - List of members who can post without approval:
   (Currently empty - should I copy in all 140
   linuxsh-dev members?  And then how about keeping
   it up to date?)

Ideally SourceForge would set up mailman so it used
SpamAssassin or similar to kill spam.  Then messages
would be instant, and there'd be little to no spam.

Or another idea is that I turn "tell user when
their msg awaits approval" on, and edit the mail
they're sent to include the list administrator
password; if you post, go and approve your own
posting.

Ideally we could have a solution which required no
intervention on my part.  Hey guys, what do you think
we should do?  Anyone want the job?  I'm very open
to suggestions, and not fussed either way.
