Problem with fraudulent logins

I have a site for a Choir with about 50 members.

Recently, someone with nothing better to do but to be nasty, has taken to creating bogus registrations. Today he did more than 30 of them.

It is obvious he is not a member of our group. Here are some samples:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hi there!
A user with username = mulgatamil has registered on site.
Some information about this user:
° Full name: Eugenia Welch
This email was generated by the auto action script.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A user with username = kudzueduct has registered on site.
Some information about this user:
° Full name: Mirian Watts
This email was generated by the auto action script
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

He cannot complete the registration or do anything as I have to authorize any new user.

Is he causing any harm? Is there anything I can do? I just regulary go into users and delete all of them.

Anyone have any advice on doing anything?

No harm - just causing you unwanted overhead.

DO you have CB Antispam installed?
At least force him to complete captcha challenge - make it more time-consuming to spam you.

As nick suggested you need CB AntiSpam. It has built in captcha in addition to multiple spam protection features. It can also block repeat registrations by IP and various other criteria.
