In the context of Majordomo mailing lists, no, not really. There is a
variable called "moderated" that you can set in the majordomo config file.

moderate = no
When it is set (when a list is "moderated"), all postings to the list must
be approved by a person with the moderator's password. This definition is
pretty well understood, even outside of the majordomo realm. The only other
context I've seen "moderation" used is when newsgroup content is going
through a semi-intelligent automated "scanner" that acts as a moderator and
approves postings if nothing objectionable is found.
