No. Currently, notifications are only sent as described in the 
condor_submit manual page.

Are you or a script setting the script on hold? If so, you can figure out 
which user submitted the job with:

% condor_q -l 640788 | grep "^User "

and send an email notification yourself. I know that it's not quite as nice.

It's an interesting idea to add extra notifications to Condor.
