In a few weeks or months our sysadmins are supposed to switch
to Bayesian spam filtering, which I hope will get rid of much
of the spam.

Moderation by several people will only work if someone is prepared to
supervise the moderation activity and make sure it gets done each day,
reminding moderators and recruiting more of them as needed.
Otherwise, it's likely that many of them will drift away and that
messages won't get through.
