[JDEV] Urgent: Help required about the Jabber Server.

[Daniel Arbuckle]

Perhaps a better model for your requirements would be this:
1) Modify your email and news servers so that they are Jabber
clients. This is an extremely simple task, as there are numerous
libraries in existence that do most of the work for you.
2) When a new message arrives, your servers simply send a
notification message to the appropriate user or users via the Jabber
server, in the same way that any client would send a message to any
other. 

This design has several advantages:
It is far easier to implement than the design you have suggested.
It is more efficient, in that it is push based instead of polling.
The users receive new message notification immediately instead of
   after polling delay.

You can embed arbitrary information in your <presence/> presence tags
via the <x/> tag. You can also put any such information in textual form
into the <status/> subtag of <presence/>

Those data will be available to anybody who gets your presence
information.
