Only once, about thirteen years ago, have I managed to get a HOLD command
in *before* an OK approval was processed.   To prevent that item from
being distributed I changed the the Send=  keyword to that all items would
require approval by an address listed nowhere else in the list header.
It worked, that one time, long ago.  I've never been able to get a HOLD in
fast enough since then.

As others have said, check on whether the item has or hasn't been
distributed already before your spend a lot of time to no point.
