I am maintaining a list on mailman 2.1.18 on a server I have no control (actually it is some 1000's km from here). The list is absolutely closed, reserved to a committee with a small membership which is updated, if any, every severl years.

In the last days the list is receiving subscription requests from odd addresses, apparently in couples. When I found two of them yesterday, I rejected them with a notice "list usage reserved ....". Today I found a mail announcing two further requests, and when I entered the administrative interface found two more.

I would like to close completely the list from subscription requests (so that they can be inserted only by the administrators).

I thought to set   ban_list ^.*@.*

Is there any other better option ?
Will the ban_list interfere with existing subscriptions ?

(sent in Bcc to the other list maintainers)
