Well, if the moderator approves the message, the post itself goes to
the list and the list archive and nothing else goes to the poster.

If the moderator rejects the message, a boiler plate message with the
moderator's reason included is sent to the poster. There's no way for
the moderator to get a copy of the message with the reject reason
unless the moderator is the poster which is how you see samples of
these messages. I.e., send a post to a list you moderate that you know
will be held (say for too big or implicit destination or maybe from a
non-member address) and reject it.

Mailman's 'vette' log logs held posts and moderator actions, but not
messages. Invitations themselves aren't logged, but accepted
invitations are logged in the 'subscribe' log as new subscriptions.
