Hi tux_lovers,
I am a regular user for gaim, thats works great no doubt. But one of the biggest problem is after every few days connecting to yahoo servers sucks...while rest of the icq, msn etc always works fine.
Is this due to yahoo keeps on changing the IPs ? or msn does't changes
servers ?
Officially, the reason for changing the Y! protocol is that they want to keep out the spammers from flooding the users. (The spamming on IMs is known as spim). Unofficially, most conspiracy theory people suspect that Y! wants to shut out trillian from using the Y! network. (I am a believer in this theory)
Y! changed its protocol a few days back. Within 24 hours, the gaim and trillian hackers had reverse engineered the new protocol, and had the code checked in the CVS. In around 36-48 hours they had put out the RPMs and SRPMs for the new client.
Interestingly, MSN has been quite well behaved in this matter. They have not changed their protocol in the last six months at least.
