This approach will not achieve your objective, as a message sent to the +subscribe address is not stored or forwarded. They serve only to initiate the subscription.

This is the way such things are normally handled via the Pending Subscription notice. See the wiki entry at?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/8155?and also the FAQ at?/helpcenter/faq/1/group-owner-moderator-faq/q-can-i-screen-prospective-members-who?

3) Their reply would then be viewable by the moderators?
Yes. Such a reply goes to the +owner address, not the +subscribe address; and is available in the "+Owner Messages" section of their member record. It is also forwarded to each Moderator who chooses to receive +owner messages?in his own Subscription settings.?

Finally, please note that anyone you invite to the group will not be sent a Pending Subscription notice, and will be let into the group right away without going through Pending status. It's presumed that you must have vetted such people in some other manner, otherwise you wouldn't have invited them.

Bruce
