I know there's been lots of discussion about the topic of malicious web subscribes in the past. However, with the two lists I run, there's a special situation. Almost all people subscribing to these lists are blind, so a visual CAPTCHA is entirely inappropriate. Are there any other countermeasures I can take?
Mailman >= 2.1.30 has the ability to add text based captchas to the subscribe form. If your Mailman 2.1 version is 2.1.30 or later, see the section beginning with the line
