I was experiencing the problem of having my gmail emails held up for moderator
approval too but I think there may be a filter rule against top
posting.  Since I
made sure not to top post my gmail emails have not been held up so it might
be sufficient for the poster to just ensure that he is signed up to
the list.  Info
on that is at the bottom of every r-help post.
