I'm using *pidgin* Jabber client ([pidgin-2.13.0-alt6](https://packages.altlinux.org/en/sisyphus/srpms/pidgin) on ALT Sisyphus), and I'd like [to set XMPP priority](https://superuser.com/a/1137749/65570) in pidgin. The reason: I'm also connecting to my Jabber account with another client from mobile smartphone (*aTalk*), and I'd like to set XMPP priority in pidgin, so that whenever I'm at my computer (where pidgin is running), it is [selected as the one which receives the messages](https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/163698/4319) people send to me, and whenever I'm away, the mobile client receives them (because there is more chance I'll see them on the mobile when I'm away). Where do I set XMPP priority in pidgin?

I use a jabberd2 MUC to monitor server status from Graylog and Nagios. The helpdesk guys would like to be able to join the MUC, however they are on Windows (I'm on Linux) and have a Cisco jabber client of some kind that doesn't appear to be configurable enough to point it at a second XMPP server. Is there any way to maybe "forward" messages from the Linux XMPP server to the Cisco XMPP server? **Update** (added SRV records): _jabber._tcp.jabber.my.lan.net. IN SRV 5 0 5269 jabber.my.lan.net. _xmpp-server._tcp.jabber.my.lan.net. IN SRV 5 0 5269 jabber.my.lan.net. _xmpp-client._tcp.jabber.my.lan.net. IN SRV 5 0 5222 jabber.my.lan.net. _jabber._tcp.conference.my.lan.net. IN SRV 5 0 5269 jabber.my.lan.net. _xmpp-server._tcp.conference.my.lan.net.

There's openfire-4.0.2 IM sender connected to Samba AD server. As a jabber client Psi+ v0.16.330 is used. When User1 sends message to User2 this outgoing message doesn't written to User's1 message history. But User2 in _his_ history has message from User1. In other words, all histories of all users contains _only_ incoming messages, not the full "dialog". In "Account" settings in Psi+ checkbox "Keep history" is on. "History Keeper" plugin is turned off. What's wrong?

How can I create (or just join) a google hangout group using mcabber ? mcabber does support MUC (Multi-User Chat) so it should be possible. I have it working on a non-google based XMPP server.

I am using xchat IRC client in Debian. I have two computers, one in my office and another at home. I would like to be connected to my IRC server from both computers using the same account. People who send messages to me and receive messages from me should not see any difference, and should not even need to know whether I am at home or in the office. By that I mean, any messages send to my account should appear on both computers. Also, any messages I send, should be visible as sent on both computers (so that both clients have complete history of communication). From what I could find, there exists such functionality in some jabber implementations (Prosody) and is called mod_carbons. Does xchat client, or the IRC protocol have this functionality? How would I set this up ?

After validating of my public XMPP service on xmpp.net, I've got the error: Warning: Server offers no forward-secret ciphers. Grade capped to A-. Is there an easy way to enable these ciphers? As title states, I have Debian Stable and ejabberd installed from its repository. **ADDITION** I've checked all the servers listed in https://xmpp.net/directory.php which have ejabberd installed with its build date 2011/12/24. This is Debian Wheezy's ejabberd obviously. The top score of any of these servers is A-/A-, so I believe it is really difficult to enable PFS for this software.

I have jabber clients on my computer (pidgin) and on mobile phones (im+). For now each message is received by arbitrary one of them (or so it looks). For instance, if a person sends two messages one after another, one can get into one client, the second one into another. What makes a message being received by some particular client? Is there a way to make one particular client receive the messages? All the clients?
