Since a lot of you use this service for bots with many users... how do you handle the user limits imposed?

I'm afraid you misunderstood. We're not offering to remove the limits
without paying the network fees. We'll take care of all the paperwork
and help you make the connections. You'll still have to pay the
networks, but we'll smooth the process and speed things along.

    So you do the paperwork and "smooth things along" and I still pay the $100k?

    OK well now I get it -

    Is it possible for you to post the contact information for AIM/YIM/Gtalk/MSN so that I can have my limits removed? Do you know what the ballpark fees are?

    Thanks!

    We don't post the contact information because the names and people
    tend to shift. If the vendors had a defined program with an email
    address for the program that would be one thing. But we can't post the
    email addresses of the individuals at MS or AOL, for instance.

    As for ballpark fees, the latest information we have would put it
    around $5000/month each for AIM and MSN.

    Gtalk limits aren't an issue, as you don't actually need to run
    anything through Google's servers. XMPP is a federated protocol, so
    using your own (or in this case, our) XMPP server means you can talk
    to Google without limitation.

    Yahoo doesn't have any program at all for IM developers.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I've seen Google throttle messages through their login on the gmail domain. Do you know if you can authenticate a gmail account via a federated server and not have rate limiting issues?

    Hello,

    We are not aware of any limitations on the number of connections for a federated connection. It would be rather difficult for google to be able to monitor the number of connections there.
