Dear all,
sorry for repeating my question, but the degree to which my instance is now being flooded by spambot registrations is truly annoying. Mark's clean_user.py script reliably deletes most of those accounts, but it would be great if we could prevent them from being created in the first place. In Mailman2, this was relatively straightforward.
The Recaptcha debate has happened before and there was a good reason given by the Developers why they aren't keen on it. You can search the archives for that. Fedora (or someone using it) patched their Mailman3 to have Recaptcha: https://github.com/pbiering/mailman3-rpm Maybe you are brave enough to patch yours.
Is there anyone who has successfully integrated some piece of code that stops those spambots in their tracks?
