<div name="quoted-content">Thanks for your offer of assistance! These are bots, not people. Matthew<br/>
Wild (who is on this list) did some thinking and early code to overcome<br/>
these challenges, but I&#39;m not sure where he stands with that. Perhaps<br/>
some collaboration is in order. :-)<br/>

&gt; If the problem is primarily that bots are registering accounts, I believe I could help you to address this problem. I have experience with building robust countermeasures to automated form submissions, integrating methods inspired from primary as well as secondary research.<br/>

&gt; If, on the other hand, the problem is that real people are registering the accounts (and then using those accounts to send spam (whether manually or through automation)), I have some ideas about how you might mitigate that problem as well.<br/>

&gt;&gt; such accounts cause us a lot of trouble.<br/>

&gt;&gt; You folks do realize that there are a mere half dozen *volunteers* running<br/>
&gt;&gt; the jabber.org IM service, right? ;-)<br/>
