Gosh, no. He's trying to communicate with her so presumably his client 
would "poke a hole in the privacy list" by enabling exchange of stanzas 
with her.

Folks on this list assert that subscription spam is more of a problem 
than message spam, so I changed the example. I don't see that it would 
make much of a difference.

Without being on their rosters, or without having a presence 
subscription? Or both?

No.

We need to decide whether the recipient's server queues up the stanzas 
(see previous message). But I think that's a bad idea because what if 
the sender generates 1000 messages to be queued up?
