I can confirm this for my servers from top to end including some of the hashes.

BTW, Mailman mm_cfg.py option `SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET` apparently mitigates the DoS, too.

We've also had some success in the past with raising SUBSCRIBE_FORM_MIN_TIME. It may catch out some legitimate subscribers with short email addresses (and/or who type quickly) but we've never heard anyone complain.
