Exactly what I was looking for when I posted to original question.

Yep... I got about 6-8 subscription requests from the same person.
This same person was later prevented from spamming several of our
lists (I really like the SPAM prevention support in listserv!).
 
Since this was all generated by a single person it's probably not
worth all the fuss.  I haven't found a global way to prevent
an*@anon.penet.fi from subscribing though.
