Approver is a set of Perl and Bourne shell scripts that adds the following capabilities to a moderated Majordomo mailing list:
- Pre-approves messages posted from e-mail accounts listed in the list.approved ACL file, while preserving Majordomo approval semantics for posts made by people not found in the ACL file.
- Rejects attempted posts from e-mail accounts not subscribed to a mailing list. This helps prevent bogus SPAM and virus posts from being bounced to moderators when Approver is installed.
- Passes all posts through DEMIME to convert all HTML posts to plain text before Majordomo even sees the post.
- Automatically adds that mandatory newline after the approved: password as required by Majordomo.
