jabber.rueckgr.at

Since yesterday afternoon, the Jabber server seems to work like a charm, let's hope it'll continue to do so. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by the stability problems. Please report any ongoing problems via the contact form.

With immediate effect, users registering new accounts on jabber.rueckgr.at will require to solve a CAPCTHA.

Recently, a bunch of accounts with strange usernames have been registered on jabber.rueckgr.at. The characters 0, _, l, m, n and r occurred very frequently in these usernames. Their passwords were either "CATSY" or "simpler".

As I think these accounts are used by some kind of Jabber bot, I removed these accounts. Any accounts using the passwords "CATSY" and "simpler" will be removed without any further notice.

If you want to register a large number of accounts on this server for use with bots, you are allowed to do so, but please inform me beforehand.

Since 13 August 2010 morning, this server's hoster has repeatedly been target of DDoS attacks consuming a lot of bandwidth. Possibly more attacks will follow. Hence, the services on this server may not always be fully operational. I apologize for any inconvenience.

There are some new features for today:

• jabber.rueckgr.at can now be used via IPv6.
• There is an installation of JWChat on this server.
• XMPP over BOSH (XEP-0206) and Jabber HTTP Polling (XEP-0025) are now enabled.
