[jdev] Why is my jabber server kicking out aremote useron anerror?

[Tom Kalafut]

Thanks.  

To be clear, I don't want anybody to get kicked.  I'm trying to work around the feature so that I can report errors to local users without kicking the remote user who "reported" it.  It doesn't look like I can do this, so I was considering a message of type 'groupchat' with ERROR info in it as an ugly hack.

I'm not sure if upgrading to 2.0.0 is an option, since we don't control the releases of our main application (i.e. not the middleware that I'm working on here).  But I'll at least ask if we can upgrade.

Ick, no. That's just wrong. You should be able to do this (e.g., what if
you requested someone's vCard or sent an entity time request through the
MUC and the other side returned and error -- you wouldn't expect to be
kicked, would you?). Please ask about this bug on the ejabberd list:
