Apparently[1] mailman, from around version 2.1.26, has Google reCAPTCHA 
support. Is enabling that an option?

I’ve been lurking here for a short time and came out of the woodwork to say I’m 
really sorry to hear about your cat and hope he recovers. Animal abuse is a 
terrible thing -- I’m generally a mild-mannered fellow but this kind of thing 
makes me wish all manner of ill upon the perpetrator.

I, for one, would be very happy to read a post on any of the above.
