Yes.

You need to ensure General Options -> admin_immed_notify is Yes. Then
when a post is held for moderation, the owners/moderators will receive a
MIME multipart message with three parts. The first part says the message
is held and why. The second part is the message itself. The third part
is a message/rfc822 message. This message is From: the
listname-request at ... address and has Subject: confirm xxxx and content

If you reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact,
Mailman will discard the held message.  Do this if the message is spam.
If you reply to this message and include an Approved: header with the
list password in it, the message will be approved for posting to the
list.  The Approved: header can also appear in the first line of the
body of the reply

where xxxx is a hex token. It is important that the reply be to that
message in the third part and not the outer message. It doesn't actually
have to be a reply, but it does have to be To: the listname-request at ...
address and have Subject: confirm xxxx where xxxx is the hex token.
