Hi guys,

I've investigated a few things with no luck.

I believe if I could manually tweak the ejabberd tables to change the 
user's subscription then things would start working, however this is a 
scary prospect (ejabberd sure ain't sql, and playing with the tables 
behind it's back is certainly 'unsupported' at best :-)

Plus, I certainly don't want to have to do this for each new user!

Because pyicq works fine, I still believe this is (even if indirectly) a 
pymsn problem.

I'm not trying to say 'hey, fix it' but I would sure appreciate a 
pointer as to what debugging information would be useful, or other stuff 
I can look at.

 > pkg_info | egrep 'ejabberd|pymsn|pyicq'
ejabberd-1.1.2_2    Free and Open Source distributed fault-tolerant 
Jabber serv
jabber-pyicq-transport-0.7b_2 Python ICQ-Transport for Jabber
jabber-pymsn-transport-0.11.2_2,1 Python MSN-Transport for Jabber

FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE
