[JDEV] selective presence(urgent!!!!!!)

[Eliot Landrum]

You are really talking about several things here...

First, the docs are talking about refusing or approving subscriptions. A
client can refuse subscriptions to certain users so that those users won't
be able to see when the client is online or offline. You can't send a
certain <presence> to anyone because the server processes all of that.

Something you may want to do is build a list of users that the client wants
to block and then just ignore them. This has been implemented in
Jabber.com's client and it works really well.
