</I>The answer has to be to make the moderators' job as easy as possible.
Mailman has tools that will help, too.
As I said, I get email alerts when new files arrive in the mod queue.
If they are obviously spam there is no hurry, and I don't necessarily
do anything the same day. If I see one that is genuine, I log in,
deal with that and drop the rest (drop, not bounce). If no genuine
ones arrive I go in once a week or so and drop the spam.
A lot of spam moderation is avoidable, too. There are certain
addresses that bulk-mail fairly often, and they can be added to an
automatic-drop list. Similarly, names known from another list to be
useful can be added to an automatic accept list.
FWIW, I could handle one more mod queue, if it helps.
