Subscription Spam
Hello My Fellow Mailman Users:
Subscription spam is starting to become an issue with some of our mailing lists. Am I correct that the SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET setting will help reduce the amount of subscription spam? Are there any other measures that can be done to reduce this type of spam? The pattern is one email address trying to subscribe to all the mailing lists of domain for several days. Banning the address works until a new email address is being used.

Yes, setting SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET has so far been very effective.
