[JDEV] Net::Jabber

[Dennis Noordsij]

Hi,

I've been playing around with the Perl Net::Jabber module and code inspired 
by DJ Adams, installed the mail notifier script on the main server; now it 
looks in our user directory to find the user the email was sent to (using the 
Jabber protocol), then checks that user's presence, then send him/her a 
notice.

I was wondering about 2 things

1 - Is Net::Jabber comprehensive enough to also use it to write transports? 
Or is it mostly client stuff?

2 - Suppose a huge site (10000 users) wanted to use the email notification, 
then every time the presence detection would see for example 5000 users 
online, filters out the one it is looking for, etc. That's not very 
effecient. Is there a way to ask not to receive any presence information, but 
rather for the client to be allowed to simply ask the server about the 
presence for a particular user?

Regards,
Dennis
