There seems to be a second subscription method which involves a -request suffix. Google suggested the following solution: https://is.richmond. edu/email/mail-lists/block-requests.html TL;DR: an "Auto-response" for subscrition requests can be set up by setting "autorespond_requests" to "Yes, w/ discard". "autorespond_requests_text" allows to configure a text which is being sent to the subscriber as part of the auto-response. Perhaps this helps.

I tried commenting out the subscription form for volunteer-supporters [1], as Leon suggested, yet I'm still getting some subscription requests. How are these bots sending through their requests?
Also, as someone mentioned in another email, the regex "^.*$" is for subscription, but not for *subscription requests*
Has anyone had luck with any other method?

That depends. In case you have the default page design the code snippet should look like
<div class="box-content" id="subscribe"> <h3 class="title title01">Subscribe</h3> <MM-Subscribe-Form-Start> <table> <tr><td>Your e-mail address:</td><td><MM-Subscribe-Box></td></tr> <tr><td>Your name (optional):</td><td><mm-fullna me-box></td></tr> <!-- Optional Password Fields (can leave out for public lists as Mailman auto-generates) --> <!-- Password reminders can always be requested through web interface --> <!-- Most likely only to be used with lists with private archives or subscription lists --> <!-- <tr><td>Password:</td><td><MM-New-Password-Box></td></tr> --> <!-- <tr><td>Confirm Password:</td><td><MM-Confirm-Password></td></tr> --> <!-- Part of the multilingual selector below --> <tr><td>Preferred language:</td><td><MM-list-langs></td></tr> </table> <p><MM-Reminder></p> <p><mm-digest-question-start> Would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest? <MM-Undigest-Radio-Button> No <MM-Digest-Radio-Button> Yes <mm-digest-question-end></p> <!-- MM-List-Subscription-Msg gives extra details about the subscription rules of the list --> <!-- This is optional, and will include variations between subscription rules (confirm vs confirm and approve) --> <!-- On the majority of lists this can be commented out as subscription rules will simply be confirm --> <MM-List-Subscription-Msg> <p style="text-align: center"><MM-Subscribe-Button>< MM-Form-End></p> </div>
which would remove the entire "Subscribe" section, including the subscription form.

The regex isn't working for me either. @Leon Liesener: what exactly should I remove in the HTML interface?
I'm afraid I will remove too much...

Hello.

I can't speak for doing it globally but on your own lists you can go to the Subscription rules (under privacy options) and add "^.*$" (no quotes, this bans "everything") to a new line under List of addresses which are banned from membership in this mailing list (the 'ban_list'). It will also ban you from adding people manually but you can temporarily remove it and add back. I've done this on a couple lists I moderate which didn't generally accept new subscriptions anyway atm and has stopped the spam.
That doesn't work for "my" lists, there are still subscriptions, and as I deleted more than 500 pending requests manually today, I again kindly request any global solution. Please!
