This seems to be hard to make work reliably (sometimes it doubles the
messages, sometimes they don't get forwarded), apparently prevents us
from adding a meaningful standard footer (e.g. with unsubscribe

It seems like your auto-approve status got turned off (perhaps because
you subscribed to the list?)
I have approved the announcements which were held for moderation.
