XMPP Service Operators - 2021-01-17

tom: creep.im is still being abused by spammers, due to it's easy in-band registration. so it's better to keep it in the spammer list, because unfortunately it belongs there now. it could change once we have ways/tools to effectively fight outbound spam. we have none now.

creep.im: alternatively, disable in band registration

Ellenor Malik: and do what?

Do spammers also use web registry forms?

Martin, there isn't really a standartized web-registration form and most utilize some sort of catpcha for it. so for now spammers seem to not use it

How does one implement that jabberSPAM list into ejabberd? And I thought mod_block_strangers was broken? Apologies if this is off topic for this channel

I just added it to the opnsense firewall so it works with every server
