Unfortunately it's not that simple as this is a shared mailing list server
for all Ubuntu mailing lists, if you look at the main page [1] there are
hundreds of lists. By all means make the suggestion to maintainers of the
list [2] but it's not something that can be switched on and off overnight
and from what I can work out not by anyone in charge of this list alone. I
do recall one of the other moderators on the largest list on the server
mentioning something about a command line tool that interfaces with the web
for "easy" moderation but personally I've never had a need and can't seem
to find the link.

As Matthew said, 99% of it is spam that is easily removed with one tick of
the "discard all deferred messages" once a day or so. The rest is people
with large attachments or people that aren't subscribed, there is rarely
any need to "moderate" discussion on any of the lists I'm on as the Ubuntu
community is generally well behaved.
