      • Add new item...
      • Spam Filter Regexp: X-Spam-Flag: YES
      • Action: Discard
  • Discard non-member postings
    • Privacy Options -> Sender Filters -> "Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined." (generic_nonmember_action) from Hold to Discard
  • Discard old held messages
    • General Options -> "Discard held messages older than this number of days" (max_days_to_hold): 30
  • Disable immediate notification of new held messages
    • General Options -> "Should the list moderators get immediate notice of new requests, as well as daily notices about collected ones?" (admin_immed_notify) from Yes to No

You can also request that your mailing list be disabled if you have no need for it.
