You could remove your email address from
http://lists.wikia.com/mailman/admin/aselia-l/?VARHELP=general/owner
For most lists, not much moderation is needed. Posts from
non-subscribers are rejected anyway, so the only held posts you would
be notified about through this email are ones that are too large, or
ones that are from people you have blocked from posting.

Another option is to use the address imaginationac+someword at gmail
as your list owner address, and filter that mail to a separate folder
so at least the spam isn't in your inbox. (If your gmail name is
angela at gmail.com, then angela+anything at gmail.com gets routed to the
same account)

If you want to get the emails, but not in your main gmail account, you
could instead use the email address aselia at mailinator.com which is a
public mailbox that you can read at
http://mailinator.com/maildir.jsp?email=aselia (by visiting the site,
or by RSS).
