So how do you deal with spam nowadays?

Recently they got my jid into theirs pam lists

so hey here's a fun thing - i've been required by the australian federal police to provide information about one of my user's accounts. appears to be in relation to some money laundering op, anyone else had anything similar lately (that they're allowed to talk about?)

mike: I've heard of such cases before, but from other governments

Well I know for a fact they're acting on a request from a foreign government, so it's not an Australian investigation. Which makes me wonder if there are more of these going around.

mike: could you provide any info?

I'm still waiting on some legal advice. Just that I've been approached by the AFP, and I know vaguely what it's about. I'm not disclosing much more yet. Just curious if anyone else has had similar because if they only want details of one user of mine they were obviously taking to at least one person on some other server ...

mike: you read about the mitm operation in the netherlands? it was also about money laundering

No, I missed that. Will give it a read when I get home.

mike: besides of that published case, I'm not sure you are going to hear much about ongoing investigations
