First message in almost all cases.
If by "post-moderate" you mean
removing bad emails without requiring all emails to be pre-approved,
that's impossible, with any software, since it would involve deleting
emails off mail servers around the world...
If every single message were required to be moderated, that'd be *way*
too much like work. The reason wikien-l keeps needing new mods is that
it's a bit much like work for not terribly much payoff and
considerable flak. (I'm occasionally amazed at the powers people
presume I have here, for instance.)
