Spam cleanup completed
Over the past days we have cleaned up a large wave of automated spam that had been hitting jabber.de, and we have put additional anti-spam protection in place.
What we did:
- Removed a large backlog of automated contact requests ("user X wants to add you") that had accumulated in many accounts over the past years. If you still see old requests, they are ones we could not classify with certainty. Simply decline them.
- Disabled a number of accounts that were being used to send spam.
- Extended our spam filtering. Legitimate messages and contact requests are not affected.
What you may notice:
- Your list of unanswered contact requests may suddenly be much shorter. That is expected. The removed entries were junk.
- If you believe a genuine contact request has disappeared, just ask that person to send it again. New requests are delivered as normal.
- If your own account was disabled and you believe this was a mistake, or if you notice any other problem (e.g. messages not arriving), please contact the admin: admin@jabber.de (email and XMPP).
You can help: please keep using the "Report spam" function of your XMPP app whenever junk does get through. Those reports help us improve the filters.
