I wondered if servers lately were not relaying unsubscribed events, at least in the case of breaking an active subscription, because many people find the event to be rude. I know that breaking an active subscription isn't the same as denying a subscription request, but I'm sure there's overlap in the code so I just wanted to throw that out there. -Justin _______________________________________________ JDev mailing list Forum: http://www.jabberforum.org/forumdisplay.php?f=20 Info: http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev Unsubscribe: [email protected] _______________________________________________
