"That sounds like a good idea, but I have never seen that option available.
I manage several groups (not this one) and would like to know how to do it.
Would you please post a plain text USASCII file somewhere we can see it,
which tells in detail what an owner/moderator needs to do to set it up?"

It's an option in the "settings" section under "Management"

If you go to the "Management" you'll get these areas to click on:

Pending Tasks

Group Activity
Memberships
Web Features
Moderator Activity
Message Posts
Email Commands
The activity area allows you to keep track of group activity, including
email messages, membership changes, web feature usage and changes to the
group's settings.

Group Settings
Description & Appearance
Membership
Web Tools
Messages
The settings area enables you to edit your group description, posting
options, feature access, and other important settings.

Clicking on "Messages" under the "Settings" area will bring up these
options, and where it says (Edit) is where you click to edit them. The
current settings of each option are shown just after each (Edit) link.

Email Address

Group Email: ListName@yahoogroups.com

Appears in all group postings and digests delivered to members.

These messages are automatically sent to members using the schedule

So, the (Edit) link under "Posting and Archives) is the one to click for
changing moderation settings. A '*' has been added in this example to
indicate the options to be checked for an unmoderated list that moderates
new subscribers.

No, it's the other way around. Spammers make up new e-mail addresses all
the time to start new runs of spam to bypass filters tuned on their old
addresses. On the other hand, a legitimate person might have posted to
a newsgroup or set up a Web site using the same address consistently over
several years.

True, but it really can and does work both ways, especially considering the
rash of .info addresses spamming over the past year or so.
