[JDEV] Unreliable?

Actually, you could be right, so the server might not register that you have logged off and so sends off messages to you still even though you aren't online. Just another reason to make the clients send back a "message received" to the server so the server can know to get rid of that message.

I wonder if this is related to the bug I described some days ago on 
this mailing list (but never got a reply) related to muliple 
presence, and the lack of automatical delivery of <presence 
type="unavailable"/> ... the server normally should broadcast this 
when a user logs off, but sometimes doesn't. So far whenever I got 
this it was related to multiple resources, though.
