Probing dead accounts
Hi all,
It seems Hubzilla, maybe Mario can give details about his version, is trying to deliver or get messages from old and dead accounts.
I started to run this hub (federate.hopto.org) in November 2021 with a clean install. Before that I had Friendica and longer ago also an attempt to run Hubzilla.
This results in old accounts, not being deleted. Mike, at some point, explained there is a mechanism, also in Friendica, that sees there is a problem with requests and it will use a lower rate of attempts until it finally stops delivering after a specified period of time.
Friendica does not honer this, it seems there might be a bug in Hubzilla since I see attempts to a few very old accounts using zot as the user agent.
Can someone have a closer look at this?
