The important thing is the reason why the message is held.

More importantly, what are you trying to accomplish? I.e. what do you
want to happen in the following cases?

     Message To: the list, no Cc: -- Accepted

     Message To: the list, Cc: to other address (non-member) -- Hold for 
moderation.
     Message To: the list, Cc: to a member's address –– Accepted

I don't think you can accomplish this one. You can hold all messages with a Cc: header with header filter which is close to what you want, but this won't distinguish between members and nonmembers in the Cc: header.

There are other cases you might want to address such as multiple values in To:, one of which is the list and another is a nonmember, but I don't think you can accomplish that either. The best you can do in this case is a header filter on To: with a pattern that matches multiple addresses and a hold action. Such a pattern might be something like

.*?@[^,]*,.*@

which will match anything up to the first @ followed by anything up to a comma followed by anything up to another @. The idea is it will match anything with two or more strings containing @ and separated by a comma.


     Message To: somewhere else, Cc: to the list -- Hold for moderation.

     Message To: elsewhere, Bcc: to the list (require explicit destination
     will hold this one) -- Hold for moderation.
