If we keep the configuration the same and we publish in DNS, how likely is it that spammers and trolls will abuse our rooms?How likely is it that it's going to rain tomorrow? A lot of people think they might know, but probably the only certain thing is that it will happen at some point :) Think about it from the ground up... where will the spammer find your server/conference address? If it's public and in some list then it's certainly going to happen sooner or later (we've already seen it on jabber.org). It's not very common, but it happens every now and then. If your server isn't so easy to find then perhaps you'll be safe for a while, who knows? :)
OK, I suspected that it is rare, and only seems to happen to the big services. I just wanted to make sure that publishing these records wouldn't unleash a wave of complaints from our users.
