I was adjusting my email spam filters, again, and that started me
wondering about Jabber and spam.
IMO there are not many provisions to prevent spam from being
sent/received in the jabber protocol. The only thing you can do is:
- block everything from anyone not in your roster except auth requests
- blacklist specific servers (very temporary solution)
- Filter on certain words/patterns (brrrrr, no a very clean solution)
I don't know of any clients/servers that implement the first 'solution'.
Has this been though about? Any idea how spam can be prevented or at
least reduced?
