How about getting more people from your LoCo involved as moderators of the 
list. That way you can distributue the load a bit more. I appreciate this 
does not fix the problem as such, but you could at least lose a little less 
hair by doing it.

Seeing how much mail goes into the Ubuntu mailing lists I suspect they'd 
need some considerable hardware to scan every mail, or long delays would 
result.
