The best advice I can give is not to allow unprotected (i.e. without a captcha or similar) inband registration, as people use scripts to autoregister accounts across many servers using IBR. If you require registration through a web page with captchas etc. then at least a spammer has to target your server specifically, rather than being able to use the same techniques across many servers. /K
