feature in the jabberd14 backbone, why not just send the recepient of the email a simple notification to IM this person? Also, what if someone sends an email (ie spam) that does _not_ have a jabber account with you? Simple enough to filter those emails out, I suppose, but if one gets through, then your users get spam they can't reply to, and have no recourse.
And maybe im being dense here, but what is the point of sending an email to someone on a local jabber server to intiate a jabber conversation, when you could just... jabber the person to begin with?
IMO this (mis)feature needs to (corrected?)enhanced to check froms so it's not allowed. Of course in PXR, this isn't an issue...

Nick,
I did some testing, and it turns out that local transports on a server can spoof the from to send messages to anyone on that server... anything that needs to go via dialback will obviously not work since dialback prohibits it.
I am using this kind of relaying for several purposes. Among them is taking inbound email and routing them as jabber messages.... i.e. user A sends email to my mailpipe.. I re-route it to my jabber, but set the "from" of the jabber msg to be the User A's jabber account, not mail account. This allows externally initiated conversations, which continue in jabber... Additionally, I want to have people send jabber messages to local users via a web form, and I believe a transport is more efficient than having send message scripts which constantly have to log in as the user on a per message basis.
I may work with joe to add such spoofability to the JGF if others see a use for it.
Think of spoofing the from, as being able to set a "Reply to:" in jabber. Since, ultimately when you reply, it goes where I wanted it to.... ---------
To sum up. After some experimentation, it appears that a gateway/transport can send jabber traffic as anyone it wants ONLY if the dest user is on the same server as the transport. If messages must undergo the scrutiny of dialback, they will be blocked for obvious reasons.
Best regards, and thanks for the response. -Dov Katz
