I can't speak for doing it globally but on your own lists you can go to the
Subscription rules (under privacy options) and add "^.*$" (no quotes, this
bans "everything") to a new line under List of addresses which are banned
from membership in this mailing list (the 'ban_list'). It will also ban you
from adding people manually but you can temporarily remove it and add back.
I've done this on a couple lists I moderate which didn't generally accept
new subscriptions anyway atm and has stopped the spam.
