Before getting complex for the user, how about running each subscribe
attempt through a black hole lookup? If it passes, then send the

There is one person currently doing it, but
it's quite difficult as
scads of requests come in every day and virtually 100% of them are
from spam harvesters. It's not easy (or more specifically it's
time-consuming) to try and separate the wheat from the chaff.
How about a token system? Go to a web site, use a captcha and grab a
token, submit it in an email to classicmp. Requests without token go
to the bit bucket in the sky.
Yes, it's a little complex for new subscribers, but are there all
that many bonafide ones?
Just tossing an idea around.
