I've seen this hit other SF hosted lists lately, so you're not alone.
Do SF offer the option of having the admin validate signups, so that
you have to approve them?  I don't know how much of a load it would be
for you, but while this is ongoing it *may* help cut down the spam
(not that I suspect it would stop it completely).
