Hi Mark, Thank you very much. You were right, I was looking at the wrong log file. As soon as I identified the proper log file, I confirmed the subscriptions through the web page.
Using the with list and the add_banned.py as explained in your email and the other links was what finally solved it for me. Each list has it's own Privacy options... -> Subscription rules -> ban_list and there is a withlist script at <https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/add_banned.py> (mirrored at <http://fog.ccsf.edu/~msapiro/scripts/add_banned.py>) which can add the regexp to the ban_list for all lists.

I am using Mailman 2.1.15 with postfix. My known_spammer declaration is: KNOWN_SPAMMERS =[('from', 'hellocatboots.*’)] KNOWN_SPAMMERS is an old setting. The list's Privacy options... -> Spam filters -> header_filter_rules is much more powerful and flexible. Is there something I am missing on blocking the subscription requests now? These are all coming in via email. What makes you think they are all coming by email? All the ones I see come via the web, but in any case, neither KNOWN_SPAMMERS nor header_filter_rules is applied to mail to the listname-{join|subscribe|request} addresses. They only apply to mail to the list and to listname-owner. You need to use the ban_list to stop these. See this post <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2016-January/080303.html> and the posts and threads linked from that. Do not be misled by the fact that that post refers to "the newly implemented, not yet released GLOBAL_BAN_LIST".
