[JDEV] Subscriptions to non-existent addresses

[emma.willis at ntlworld.com]

Please can someone tell me if there is any way of testing whether or not an address actually exists before you add them to your roster, using Jabberbeans.... I let my users add contacts but if the reciever never gets their subscription request, the roster item (with an ask=subscribe attribute) remains on their roster indefinitely.  I know an error is caused when the packet is bounced back to the server but I don't know if or where this is passed back to the jabberbeans server-side stuff (highly technical term there).

If anyone knows - please can you tell me.
