This has been discussed many times on this list. The recommendations for Mailman 2.1 are to set `SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET` in mm_cfg.py and also to use one or both of CAPTCHAS and RECAPTCHA*. These are all documented beginning at https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/view/head:/Mailman/Defaults.py.in#L114 (The CAPTCHAS feature requires Mailman >=2.1.30) These settings are set by a site admin. If you don't have the required access, you need to contact those who do. One thing list admins can do is edit the General list information page to remove the subscribe form. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
