Unfortunately, not all XMPP entities are well-behaved. Currently, if an XMPP entity sends abusive stanzas over a server-to-server connection, there is no way for the receiving server to inform the sending server that the sender is generating abusive traffic. In practice, the receiving server may need to terminate the server-to-server connection (again without explicitly informing the sending server about the reason for the termination) rather than continue to accept the abusive traffic.

Unfortunately, not all XMPP entities are well-behaved. Currently, if an XMPP entity (the "attacker") sends abusive stanzas to another XMPP entity (the "victim"), there is no way for the victim or the victim's server to inform the attacker's server that the attacker is generating abusive traffic. In practice, the victim's server may need to terminate the server-to-server connection (currently without explicitly informing the attacker's server about the reason for the termination) rather than continue to accept the abusive traffic.

This situation is far from desirable. Therefore, this specification defines three small XMPP protocol functions that can help to improve the reliability of server-to-server connections:

  1. A method by which the receiving server can send an abuse report to the sending server, including the JID(s) of the sender(s).
