[JDEV] jabberd and Proxies

[Richard Dobson]

Well if you are using an AOL dialup connection to host a jabber server then
I think you have much greater problems to deal with anyway, also there is a
reason ISP's use such measures, so they can stop people hosting servers on
their connections when they shouldnt be in the first place, if you want to
host a server in such a situation change to an ISP that does not have the
aformentioned proxy servers.
