The usual mechanism is

* newbie sends question
* newbie gets response indicating that message is being held for moderator approval because he's not subscribed
* newbie subscribes and reposts question, which people answer
* eventually, list moderator cleans out the queue and approves the original question

It's not really a duplicate, but it looks like one.

This could be fixed if someone wanted to improve the moderation software
to auto-approve pending messages from someone who's just subscribed, but
perhaps that's a lot of work.  I haven't looked at that code, so I'm not
volunteering ...
