[JDEV] Howto remove a broadcast message from server?

Thu Apr 26 10:28:15 CDT 2001

Hmm, I've never sent a MOTD (only a broadcast to all online users) so I
haven't seen this behavior. However, the standard jabber.xml file that
comes with the server has the following documentation of broadcast
messages:

   Sending to /announce/motd/delete will remove any existing
   motd, and to /announce/motd/update will only update the motd
   without re-announcing to all logged in users.

So I think if you send the following XML as a server admin with write
privileges (as set up in your jabber.xml file), your users will no
longer receive the message you sent:

    <message to="yourhostname/announce/motd/delete"/>
