Quick Overview - Is this really what I want?

(These are actual screen shots taken from version 3.7. the user information is fictional)  

 

This is the configuration window that usually sits in the background(minimized).  The green arrow (left side) turns clockwise, indicating when the next mail check will occur, the mail check occurs when the arrow is pointing up, or when you click on "Check now!".  

This window appears when there is new mail. The picture of the planet rotates and bounces in the black box.Clicking on the Moderate Now Button brings up the window with the email. (see below)  

With this window, you can return, send(approve), delete and ignore the messages. The window usually provides much more area of viewed text. You can resize the window.  

This window is used to return an inappropiate message to the person who send it. You have six preset standard responses. (you click on the save button to save a response) The window usually provides much more area of viewed text. You can resize the window.

 

This window provides additional functionality and configuration to the program. 
If you want DMOD to let you know when email from a particular person(or newsgroup) arrives, you can put their name (or group name) into the rules. If you are only interested in knowing if there are new emails, you can click on the "Ignore rules" and then "Number of email". With these options selected, the time taken to perform a check is very small. 

You need to enter the appropiate deails for automatic Approval in this window. 
If you are approving an email list you need to enter the email address that the list recieves approved emails from.
