# membership-accept template

The email is only sent on moderated groups when a new member has registered and needs to be accepted by the [Moderator](../../../../reference/glossary/moderator.md).

The email provides a link for the moderator to confirm the new group member.

## Email headers

This message sets the following headers by default:

| Name | Value |
| --- | --- |
| `Auto-Submitted` | `auto-generated` |
| `From` | Member to moderate, see [From address](../from.md) |
| `Sender` | `PageSeeder (DO NOT REPLY) <pageseeder@emaildomain>` |
| `Subject` | `[`*group name*`] Group registration request` |
| `To` | Email address of moderator |

## XML

PageSeeder produces the following XML for the XSLT template:

```xml
