seantodd 14:59:42
I assume the contact functionality uses disco to ask the server for it's admin contact details?

seantodd: I hope you don't have in-band registration enabled
Ge0rG 15:19:00
it's not that important to have contact info without IBR.
Ge0rG 15:19:17
Also you could make SRV records to get rid of "chat." in your JID ;)
seantodd 15:20:00
No IBR, registration is via web form. And I'll look into the SRV records, thanks.
Ge0rG 15:20:23
seantodd: if it's a family server, use https://modules.prosody.im/mod_invite.html
Ge0rG 15:21:21
there is *really* no good reason to allow anybody you don't know to register on your server.
Ge0rG speaks from experience running a mid-size public server 15:21:39
seantodd 15:25:34
I've currently got registration watching enabled, but I've added the invite function, just to give it a go. The server is mainly a small test, giving me and a few others the capability of FOSS & federated encrypted chat.
Ge0rG 15:26:37
seantodd: if you know the other people, mod_invite is a good way to go instead of a free-for-all webform
Ge0rG 15:26:46
seantodd: but as long as you keep monitoring it, it should be okay.
Ge0rG is just fed up with spam bots from hundreds of unmaintained IBR servers 15:27:01
seantodd 15:28:48
I'm lucky I'm small enough to dodge spam. One day I hope to integrate it with my other "cloud" services I provide people, but there's only so much a man can do whilst procrastinating at work.
Ge0rG 15:29:41
seantodd: nobody is small enough. Spammers are just scanning for xmpp servers.
seantodd 15:30:32
Ge0rG‎: hmm, I've never seen any on my box. I may just be lucky.
Ge0rG 15:31:32
seantodd: I suppose they focus on IBR servers right now, but I have no strong data to verify that.
Ge0rG 15:31:57
so if you have a web form, you might be safe. for now.
seantodd 15:36:18
Ge0rG‎: so, I was wrong. After an update to my web interface, I may have borked my web registration functionality anyway. Good old converse.js.
Ge0rG 15:36:55
Which reminds me. I need to migrate from prosody's chat.tar.gz to inverse converse mobileverse.
Ge0rG 15:37:10
Or somebody needs to implement proper MUC support in the former.
