How so?

In the early early days of the Jabber network, a server could masquerade 
as another domain. In October 2000 we put a stop to that with server 
dialback. It has served us well enough ever since. However, we are 
thinking seriously about upgrading to at least TLS/SSL plus dialback in 
January 2009 (the tenth anniversary of the original jabberd release).
