    What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Join a MUC foo@chat.domain.example 2. Send a message to the MUC with a <delay from="foo@chat.domain.example" stamp="2017-01-01T01:01:00" reason="spoofed!"/> What is the expected output? The reflected message should not contain the <delay/> element, or it should contain a timestamp checked and enforced by the MUC service. What do you see instead? The reflected message contains the <delay/> element unaltered. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 0.9-ish: 5770:7ad9d7c4161c 0.10-ish: 7503:df970f76c720 Please provide any additional information below. During history replay, prosody will add a second <delay/> element. Which one wins will depend on the client implementation, so there’s a chance that this can also be used to spoof history.
