I have it working according to rfc 3921 section 8. I do have one question/issue though.  If a users presence request is denied by the contact while the user is online, he gets notified of the rejection as defined in section 8.2.1 (using the ejabberd server).  I can then pop up a notification stating “so and so rejected your request”. But if the user is offline when the rejection happens, and then logs in, he gets no such notification.   He just gets his roster with that contact in the “none” state with the “ask” flag stripped and no indication of how that contact got that way. Since  a contact can end up in the none state in various ways, I can’t use that fact to pop up a notification. So my question is, how can I give a user notification that his subscription requests were rejected while he was offline?  I see that psi has the same issue and so does Exodus. They give rejection notifications while the user is online, but not when he got the rejection while logged off and then logs on. Any way to implement such a feature? </BODY> </HTML>
