Marc-Andre. Good evening.

Thank you for your respond.

I will definitely explore your project.

The XMPP modules are atomized in a single directory /interface/xmpp/ in
order to make it extendible to other interfaces (i.e. protocols).

I do consider to transform the directory of XMPP modules into a
framework for building XMPP bots.

I sense, that collaboration be feasible.

Kind regards,
Schimon

ANN: eGenix Antispam Bot for Telegram 0.7.1

[eGenix Team via Python-list]

*ANNOUNCING*


   eGenix Antispam Bot for Telegram

Version 0.7.1

A simple, yet effective bot implementation
to address Telegram signup spam.

This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading:
https://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-Antispam-Bot-for-Telegram-0.7.1-GA.html


*INTRODUCTION*

eGenix  has long been running a local Python user 
group meeting in Düsseldorf called /Python Meeting Düsseldorf 
/ and we are using a Telegram group for most of our 
communication.


In the early days, the group worked well and we only had few spammers 
joining it, which we could well handle manually.


More recently, this has changed dramatically. We are seeing between 2-5 
spam signups per day, often at night. Furthermore, the signups accounts 
are not always easy to spot as spammers, since they often come with 
profile images, descriptions, etc.


With the bot, we now have a more flexible way of dealing with the problem.

Please see our project page for details and download links:

https://www.egenix.com/library/telegram-antispam-bot/


*FEATURES*

 * Low impact mode of operation: the bot tries to keep noise in the
   group to a minimum
 * Several challenge mechanisms to choose from, more can be added as needed
 * Flexible and easy to use configuration
 * Only needs a few MB of RAM, so can easily be put into a container or
   run on a Raspberry Pi
 * Can handle quite a bit of load due to the async implementation
 * Works with Python 3.9+
 * MIT open source licensed



*NEWS*

The 0.7.1 release fixes a few bugs and adds more features:

 * Added missing dependency on emoji package to setup (bug introduced
   in 0.7.0, fixed in 0.7.1)
 * Added user name check for number of emojis, since these are being
   used a lot by spammers
 * Added wheel as requirement, since this is no longer included per default
 * Updated copyright year

It has been battle-tested in production for several years already 
already and is proving to be a really useful tool to help with Telegram 
group administration.



Enjoy,

Hi Schimon,

thanks for reaching out. Our bot is TG-only, since we built it for our 
user group chat group running on TG.


But I suppose you can make use of the types of challenges we use for 
XMPP and IRC as well.


The strategies are working quite well for us, even though they are not 
perfect. It reduces the admin work substantially, plus it's easy to 
extend, so we can always tune them or add new ones.


Thanks,

Good evening.

Is this service also available for XMPP?

I am working on a similar project which is called KaikOut, and I will
be glad to collaborate.

https://git.xmpp-it.net/sch/KaikOut
Moderation service for XMPP

Currently, it supports XMPP, and in future it would also support IRC.

Kind regards,
