Unless you're not in a hurry to send those 
messages.  The jabberspam program I wrote
only sends one message per second, which
hopefully is such a small number that no
one would ever notice the increase in message
traffic.  It has a very valid beneficial use
and that is to send messages to users of my
Jabber server whose email addresses I don't
have.  So really it's an admin tool, though
it could possibly be used for evil.

I just did.  I didn't even know the Asylum 
existed.  Thanks for turning me on to it!
