I had a SRV record on my domain pointing to my Jabber server but S2S
only worked with a few other servers (like Jabber.org). I thought that
was because it was new and not supported by most servers yet, but I
assume most servers are 1.2+. Could it have been a set up issue and
what possibly could it have been?

Also, are MX records still supported?
