Thanks for all this feedback - just to confirm, I was asking about individual account-level forwarding (not outsourcing a whole domain) I realize it is not a trivial thing to achieve: SIP provides a redirect mechanism like HTTP, but that has privacy implications as it gives out the callee's preferred address. Simply forwarding a stanza (or SIP message) means that the final recipient can't check the sender's TLS certificate at the transport level, they have to configure some rule to trust the forwarder or everybody has to sign their stanzas with a public key or something. The reason for asking this on operators is that it relates to actual domain operators who want to add some level of XMPP to their users and I was hoping there may be some solution they can implement quickly, similar to services they already offer for email.
