[JDEV] jabber prepended to domain name

[Robert Temple]

I'm actually more interested in the server-to-server part of this.  If we
have a server running at jabber.foo.org, then I won't be able to talk to
that person from my jabber.com account.  When I add person at foo.org
<mailto:person at foo.org>  to my roster using my jabber.com account,
jabber.com tries to make a server-to-server connection to foo.org.

said it before, the client can still not find the server without using
MX/SRV-lookup. 


...unless the user explicitly tells it what server to connect to, probably
by entering the server name in a preference dialog. Which is exactly what
people are used to from email clients: my address may be "jens at mac.com" but
I have to enter "mail.mac.com" as the IMAP host in my account setup dialog. 


But I agree it's nice for the client to be able to determine this itself. Do
any of the existing open-source Unix clients do this SRV lookup, so I can
look up [sic] how it's done?
