I was not thinking about greylisting (because the delay can be annoying), but about a challenge, either simple captcha (but would be possible to defeat for advanced spam software) or a computational challenge (i.e. the sender has to do some resource costly computational challenge, but the result is easy to check). In the captcha case the good point is that we can use a text fallback. Greylisting could be an option too, not sure how efficient it would be in XMPP case, and if we could implement it without breaking backward compatibility. _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: [email protected] _______________________________________________
