Hi, >>From what I have been able to work out, they probably use a bot that searches >>the conference server for existing rooms. So if you have used a venue >>recently, it will probably have spam messages in it.
One solution to this would be to have the jabber server delete rooms as soon as every one has left. The disadvantage of this is that there will be no room history i.e. you won't be able to see what someone wrote in your last meeting. This could be resolved by having the server keep room logs in a web accessible location. I am not sure what Jabber server ANL are using so I am not sure if this can be configured.

John, I had one in our chat area too from that same "person". Curiously, it was only the our "Lobby" and not another other Venue chat area. -- Jeremy Mann jer...@biochem.uthscsa.edu University of Texas Health Science Center Bioinformatics Core Facility http://www.bioinformatics.uthscsa.edu Phone: (210) 567-2672
