<\/a>Example 5: Example of a successful approval using Forward<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To approve a bounced message, forward it to your list and add an “Approved:” line at the very top. Before sending, you may need to delete bits of extraneous information that your email software may have inserted at the top of the message (for example, your automatic signature, if you have one, or any header lines that aren’t part of the original<\/em> message). Majordomo does not remove these automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/td>\nThis is what you send:<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Header:<\/td>\nTo: my-list@bu.edu
\nSubject: Re: Bounced Message<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Body:<\/td>\nApproved: PASSWORD<\/em> <– you add this line<\/strong>

When Majordomo receives your approval message, it will extract the original message and distribute it to your list. Your list’s subscribers will never see your approval message, but will instead see the original message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
