Moderated Folders In Exchange 2010 using PowerShell

Hi,

First of all, thank you all for taking the time to read this post.

I am having a very hard time trying to set up moderated public folders using PowerShell on a server running Windows SBS 2011 With MsExchange 2010.

Here's what i exactly did :

First of all i used the Exchange Management Console to set up a new Public Folder, named "moderated_folder".

Then I mail enabled this folder.

I then enabled the moderation using this command :

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Set-MailPublicFolder "\moderated_folder" -ModerationEnabled $True -ModeratedBy jeremy.lempereur
 -SendModerationNotifications Always -ArbitrationMailbox "SystemMailbox{1f05a927-2a51-4206-9997-9e36e5d29e5f}"

While the SystemMailbox is the "Microsoft Exchange Approval Assistant" mailbox, as you can see here :

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-Mailbox -Arbitration | fl identity,DisplayName


Identity    : carpediem.local/Users/SystemMailbox{1f05a927-2a51-4206-9997-9e36e5d29e5f}
DisplayName : Assistant Approbation de Microsoft Exchange

Identity    : carpediem.local/Users/SystemMailbox{e0dc1c29-89c3-4034-b678-e6c29d823ed9}
DisplayName : Microsoft Exchange

Identity    : carpediem.local/Users/FederatedEmail.4c1f4d8b-8179-4148-93bf-00a95fa1e042
DisplayName : Microsoft Exchange Federation Mailbox

(We are french users, so feel free to ask for translation ^^)

Now the problem is :

When I try to put a file into this moderated_folder, I don't receive any mail asking for an approval... And the file lands in the folder without even asking for permission...

I tried looking into the "Exchange Mail Flow Troubleshooter" (I guess it's called so in English...) and I don't see any mail sent from / received by the moderated folder's address ( moderated_folder@<oudomainname.com>)

Does anyone have any idea about what could be wrong?

Here is the full list of my mailpublicfolder properties :
