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).
Cleverly-crafted spam can be difficult to discern sometimes.
Suppose a non-subscriber wanting to drive traffic to their site posts a link to it and claims they're having a hard time reaching it while using some browser in fedora...
Should the moderator try that in multiple browsers to see if there is really a problem or just pass the message on to the list?
