In what way does that address the spam issue? What makes you think that Spammers will not just run their own servers eventually? You may have heard of a thing called botnets ;-) I am however sure that "just run your own server if you want to use XMPP" will adress the "XMPP adoption" issue quite effectively, in that XMPP adoption will be even less then what it is now. greetings, Mati -- I only read plain text mail!
