One thing to note is that you seem to have two different filters at work here, one being non-member post, which you want to Discard, and messages with 'bad' words in the subject, which you define to Hold. A message which matches both filters will be acted by the first filter that the message hits.

I have found that on the list I run, which is on a shared server so I am limited to what I can control, the spam filters are checked BEFORE the non-member filter, so if I define a spam filter, it can cause me to see messages that would otherwise be discarded. This says that I don't want to be too aggressive with these filters, as they will create work for me.

If you can adjust the configuration of mailman, you may want to move the filter that discards non-member posts before your spam filters.
