It is on moderation (as are most if not all of the bioinformatics.org hosted lists) due to recent spam volumes. Recently there was a spike in spam that evaded the spam filters and then made it out to lists because they forged the FROM field on the message to be that of a legit subscriber. Only moderating *everything* seemed to have an effect. So - moderation is on, but for spam reasons only. We don't moderate for content/topic or any other reason but spam.
