I think this is quite enough. The only my concern currently is: do we
really need such complex approach? After we (ejabberd) released the
module which blocks any messages from unsubscribed users we got quite
encouraging results. Currently spammers started to send
subscription requests, although I'm not sure what they want to achieve,
maybe they will stop doing this understanding this is a waste of time
(I think nobody accepts their subscription requests). Any thoughts on
this?

[3] is a wrong url, sorry, this is actually the correct one:

Although I don't think you need such details, spending your time
understanding these pretty complex algorithms, to get the basic
idea :)
