Wrong; that spam mail is totally unrelated.

Say moderation was enabled, and I was made moderator *today*. Would
any extra spam reach your inbox? No.

*I* (the moderator) would have to approve it first. If I'm bad at my
job I would not be processing mails very fast, but approving spam is
something no sober normal human would do (only perhaps in vary rare
occasions).
