I know this was asked a while back on this list, but I'm hoping there might be an update? Any way to add an am-I-human test to the sign up?
You might find https://github.com/praekelt/django-recaptcha helpful.
However, the Mailman 2.1 listinfo subscribe forms for the MM 2.1 @python.org lists all have reCaptcha as well as the features that require GETting the form before POSTing it and requiring at least 5 seconds betweeh GETting and POSTing the form, and yet we still occasionally see periods of massive robotic web subscription attempts of which many succeed, even on lists that require confirmation.
The bottom line is robots are better than humans at solving captchas. See the first few hits at https://www.google.com/search?q=robotic+captcha+success.
