+A NOTE ABOUT MODERATION
+
+ When you upgrade from Mailman 2.0.x to Mailman 2.1, you should
+ double check that your moderation and privacy options are still
+ set the way you want them. The Mailman options dealing with
+ moderation and privacy have changed significantly, to make them
+ easier to understand and control. Ever effort was taken to
+ translate the old configuration variables to the new configuration
+ variables, but because the old semantics were so complex, it is
+ possible your settings may not have been correctly translated.
+
+ Check especially the values for (in Privacy -> Sender Filters)
+ default_member_moderation, generic_nonmember_action, and
+ accept_these_nonmembers. Check also the moderation flag on member
+ accounts in the Membership Management screen.
