[Operators] [Fwd: [ejabberd] Your server is a part of spammer/flood botnet!]

[Mickaël Rémond]

Hello,

For your information:
- this can only help server that have enabled in band registration.  
The only large scale XMPP server that allow in band registration is  
jabber.org and the patch has been deployed there already. Most other  
public server use a general registration process that goes to a  
central DB.
- the limitation of the inband registration by IP address will be  
available in version 2.0.1 due very soon (likely this week)
- this feature is unique to my knowledge and might be very useful if  
you absolutely need IBR.

The comment on MUC does not refer to a bug but is instead part of our  
continuous improvement process to add anti abuse feature in ejabberd  
(like we did in ejabberd 2.0).
It will be in 2.0.1 too.

For your information, we strongly advise against using ejabberd SVN  
version for production server, because this is a non stable branch  
(development) and can be broken if you take in between major releases.

I hope this helps,
