Thanks! That works for Apache2.2. For those interested that are using
Apache2.4, make this change:

-Order deny,allow
-Deny from all
+Require all denied

The rest should be the same. Here is some more info:

Best,

That's a very old (in Internet Years) Mailman problem that was solved
with session cookies in v2.1.16 (16-Oct-2013).  If you're still
paranoid, and don't want to piss your users off with privacy leaking
captcha, then just set up some referer checking in your apache or
nginx configs:

Apache:

      # Prevent subscription request spam
     SetEnvIf Referer lists\.example\.com localreferer
     <Location /mailman/subscribe>
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from env=localreferer
     </Location>
