This is an issue that you may want to raise on the XMPP operators list:

http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/operators

Both SIP and XMPP require stronger identity verification than SMTP so
it makes spamming a bit harder but it is not 100% impossible.

How much spam are you receiving?

How many users on the server and does everybody receive equal amounts
of spam?
