Enabling the option "the should get the message that his mail has been approved" in Mailman

I am using mailman 2.1.5 on RHEL 4 in production and 2.1.9-4 on Centos
5 in Testing environment. I am trying to configure an option in
mailman that is "the sender should get the message that his mail has
been approved". The sender gets the mail whenever his mail gets
rejected however no mail goes to the sender whenever his request/mail
gets approved.

Please let me know which option to configure in mailman so that I can
have this feature enabled in the mailman. There is no issuing in
upgrading the mailman version in-case the need is there.


Thanks & Regards

Ankush

There is no option to automatically notify the sender when her post is
approved. If the sender is a list member, she will presumably know her
post was approved when she receives it from the list.

If the sender is not a list member, you need to do something manually.
Typically, what I do on my lists is discard the post and forward the
message from the notice to the admin to the list with Cc: to the
sender. That way, the sender knows the post went to the list, and the
list members know it was a non-member post and know how to include the
original sender in a reply. This works for me because I 'approve' very
few non-member posts. YMMV.
