Glowhost Spam-O-Matic (Checks email and IP against known spammer blacklists. Make sure you DONT have the username checking enabled)
Mandatory custom fields (industry related, for verification)
Once email verified, they're moved to a temporary group. Then the mods manually move them to their final security group, and send them a personal welcome email. (based on membership status to our trade org)
The above tools stop 99.9% of them.
