Interestingly (or maybe not) jabber.kiev.ua wasn't on the list of
servers I sent out that I'd see automated MUC attacks from.

I guess we need protection both from automated attacks and from manual

automated ones.

The 300 number is interesting - I wonder why they did that. Do you
have any information about these subscriptions? Did they seem to be to
randomly generated users on gmail? Did they contain messages?
