That seems right to me.  It doesn't make any sense to hold a message
ultimately destined for the list owner or moderator because those are
the people who have to approve the message (what? so they can then read
it again in their inbox?).

If in response to a certain spam designation the owner destined message
is discarded, that's fine.  But it shouldn't be held, and rejecting spam
is almost always a bad idea.
