Hi, fyi there is an ongoing ibr spammy registration, they all use <woman name><separator><other name><seven digits> as their localpart.

They all use tor exit nodes to perform the registration.

Link Mauve: passing captchas?

No idea, I don’t use that.

I've had a report from an ejabberd user that spam bots registered despite having a captcha on IBR. Any ideas how that happened?

Ge0rG, spam bots resolving CAPTCHA because that’s trivial to do, maybe?
-

Link Mauve: it's significantly less trivial than just using IBR servers without a captcha, so...

Still, I’d expect any serious spammer group to have the resources to solve them.

Ge0rG, ejabberd 18.06 has a problem with the captcha generation limit > https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/issues/2553 I am not sure if that could happen with the ibr registration though.
