Correct.
However by no means all my email arrives at FM in the first place. The vast majority of those coming to FM are from mail-lists (one alias per list or in some cases per list-server), and there's little spam. If an address is compromised on a list, I unsubscribe, change the alias, and resubscribe.
At my other provider there's many more aliases (though they don't quite work the same way)... but again adresses that attract spam get changed. So, of the few spams that arrive, I look at them ... mainly to decide if the time has come to change that address, or warn the friend or company that's supposed to be sending those mails that they may have been compromised.
