(optional) If the Moderated setting is set to all messages
or number of messages, defines the amount of time that should elapse before
messages held for approval are automatically approved.
For example, if the Release period
is set to 1 day, messages held and waiting for approval will be automatically
approved at midnight, the day of their contribution. The Release feature
allows the List Administrator to do nothing in the normal course of running
their mailing lists. The List Administrator will receive a copy of the message
to be approved via email, and if the message is acceptable, the List
Administrator does nothing, and the message is approved that night. On the
other hand, if the message is not acceptable, the List Administrator has until
midnight to reject the message.
If the List Administrator does not
wish to use a Release period, they can set it to approval is always
needed.
