Don't understand why my list isn't moderated

I recently made some changes to an email list, but didn't think I changed the moderation policy of the list. However, the list is now unmoderated; whenever a subscriber sends a message to the list address, it immediately goes out to all the list members. Instead, it should be sent to the moderators for approval. Here's the flags for the list: [xxxx.org@www xxxx]$ cat flags -aBCDeFGhiJKlmnopQrStuVWXYZ [xxxx.org@www xxxx]$ My understanding of the '-m -u -o' combination of flags is that messages from subscribers must receive moderator approval before being sent to subscribers, posts from addresses other than moderators are rejected, and posts from non-subscribers are sent to the moderators for approval. While this could be correct, in writing this out, I can see where it might be contradictory. This list is an announcement-only type list, where the only posts are from the moderators. Will the '-o' flag override the '-mu' combination? To obtain the correct behavior (only posts from moderators are allowed, and even these require moderator approval, to prevent spoofing of moderator's addresses), what should my flags be set to? On a related note, I thought perhaps my documentation of ezmlm-make was out of date. On a recent question I posted, I was told of updates that changed how the configuration was stored, from DIR/config to DIR/flags and other files. My copy of the man page for ezmlm-make still refers to DIR/config, as do all the copies I could find through Google. Has the man page for ezmlm-make been updated? How can I obtain the current one? Thanks in advance for your help and advice. -Kevin Kevin Zembower Internet Services Group manager Center for Communication Programs Bloomberg School of Public Health Johns Hopkins University 111 Market Place, Suite 310 Baltimore, Maryland 21202 410-659-6139
