Jabber is somewhat explicity designed NOT to allow for spoofing like this. That kind of thing opens the door for spam that you cannot track down.



I know, but I don't understand why I can send messages to local users and not to users of other servers. If this is evil it should be forbidden in both cases, and, moreover, I don't understand the error message, 'service unavailable' which is different from something like 'forbidden' or 'malformed', which should be more appropriate.


FInally I completely understand why this is evil for client entities, but not for components (components are under direct control of system administrators, and if a spammer runs its own server, he or she could send any kined messages...).
