I'm a moderator too for excalibur and several other lists. I'm consistently 100-1000 messages behind these days (I shift through it roughly once every 2 days). Which means I hardly get to actually do moderation for excalibur as hammett and peter are a lot faster :-) At some point I had procmail configured to strip out the attachment (moderate messages are multipart/mixed) and feed that through spamassassin. That broke and I never fixed it. There's a mailing list for asf moderators, asf-moderators at Apache-Server dot Com, which is mostly unused but probably a good information source on how to improve moderation throughput. I think some people have customized mutt or pine installs where they just hit one out of three keys a whole lot in a row for one of the four actions (_A_pprove, approve _P_oster, _I_gnore, _R_eject).
