OK

Actually, as you implicitly point out, this isn't necessary since only
list posts should be in the moderation queue in the first place. The
only other messages that currently get held are messages to the owner
that get caught by a Spam filter 'hold' rule, and these shouldn't be
held. At least that's how it seems pending other input.
