For some mailman lists they are held for moderation, for other lists
they are rejected [3].

Some lists send a mail [1] with a link for confirmation [2], if a mail
is held for moderation. This link enables to chose. The OP then could
decide to cancel the mail or to await moderation. This Evolution list
held those mails for moderation, but doesn't send a mail with a
confirmation link. If we randomly sent using a wrong account and then
resend the mail using the correct account, we unintended sent a
duplicated mail. I wasn't aware of this issue, until a moderator blamed
me for sending a duplicated mail.

[1]
"Your mail to 'ubuntu-studio-users' with the subject

    test

Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.

The reason it is being held:

    Post by non-member to a members-only list

Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive
notification of the moderator's decision.  If you would like to cancel
this posting, please visit the following URL:

    https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/confirm/ubuntu-studio-users/...";

Sorry, we were unable to deliver your message to the following address.

<linux-audio-user lists linuxaudio org>:

Or they send a mail from the list, that you aren't allowed to post to
the list.
