In my experience (and ignoring a brief glitch this summer) moderation of new members works great. Almost zero spam gets through. Not as convenient for the admin as MailMan self-service email verification, but perhaps easier for some users and not too much admin work if you don't have too many new legitimate members every month. 

Here is the configuration set I recommend:

Your membership roles will end up with quite a few junk accounts, but those bots can't post, so it's not that big a deal. I purge mine manually once a year or so.

HTH,
