    THIS is an interesting place:

    http://mailcatch.com

    Oh, these types of sites have been around for a long time.

    They're good, but tend to get blacklisted over a period of time.

    I can appreciate that. Some of these have recently shown up
    as Registered users on a couple of WordPress sites that I look
    after.

    Registration at the sites is only required for posting
    comments. But the @mailchimp.com registrants don't comment.

    Since @mailchimp.com addresses are temporary, so will be the
    registrants! Hhahahhah!

    Looks like there are robots out there testing the register
    process with fake email addresses? Too bad I can't tell which
    IP address the @mailchimp.com user was connecting from; it
    would be nice to block those right away. The IP address only
    gets recorded when a Comment is actually posted.

    Why not just install a captcha plugin and hook it into the signup page?
