In fact it has happened twice if I recall correctly, once a couple of
weeks ago or so and the one you say. First time I thought I had
mistakenly allowed the message, but after examining the member list, the
member appeared as moderated (I never allow a message leaving the sender
"moderated"). I manually banned the offending user and deleted the
message, but this time I remember clearly having marked the message as
spam and banned the user: the message went to the list anyway and I had
to delete it and manually ban the user.

Even though I remember having marked the message as spam, I thought that
maybe I had clicked "allow" instead of "spam" by mistake. Now I see that
the problem was other...

In the two occasions where spam has made its way to the list, the sender
was not banned, it stayed as "moderated", and that was the strangest
point, because as I wrote above, I never allow or deny a message, I use
the shortcuts to allow and unmoderate or deny and ban.

Oops... Messages with "shoe", "t-shirt" and other words ring my spam
bell, probably I didn't even bother to open the message if I was in a
hurry.
