Hello. Well, there is no working server-side solution forXMPP as of now, and today was a first day I used the "doomed to fail" client-side solution: a simple yet effective CAPTCHA-plugin for Gajim. Today was a first day for a long time I haven't received a single spa

Okay, then I misunderstood you. Could you elaborate a bit how it's fought in 2016 (that can be applied to XMPP of course, not just outlining some measures implemented in centralized proprietary protocols)? On 11/19/2016 04:58 PM, Evgeny Khramtsov wrote: No:) As I said, that's not h

t the protocol (not the questions themselves obviously) should be standardised into a XEP so that not every client creates its own idea of how to do it. You should suggest it on the xmpp-standards mailinglist. I think there is nothing to be standardised, because he is describing text-based CAP

Hey everyone. The spam problem persists and it gets worse and worse each consecutive day, but seems like nobody actually can or wants to do anything. All the anti-spam measures discussed here in this list are a mere blocking of spam JIDs or even whole domains. But this will not mitigate the
