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.
