I think is fair to say that all MLs are under attack, so let's discuss the countermeasures. Do we want to temporarily global ban all AOL accounts, at least those who try to subscribe? Is it possible?

Hi there.
On the lists "wikimedia-sk" and "wikimedia-sk-oznamy", where I am admin, we have received suspicious mass subscriptions (several tens in several hours). They came from nowhere, all with @aol.com address (very unusual for our target group) and all declared only first name. Most certainly some bot.
Provisionally I have set them all for moderation. Eventually I could block subscriptions from @aol.com addresses (no too big deal, because hardly someone real in our audience is using them) but I prefer systemic solutions and not to cure symptoms. And possibly someone else here is running into the same problem.
Any suggestions?
