That header is informational only. Including it in a post won't affect
moderation or other holds. You can bypass moderation by including a

Approved: password

header where password is either the admin or moderator password.

You probably checked, but is the sender of the post a moderated member?

Holds and approvals of held messages are logged in Mailman's vette log.
