[jadmin] Re: jabberd tries to communicate with jabber.org (Maciek Borowka)

Hi,
     the following snip from the archives shows how to deal with a
troublesome domain.
In my experience both JabberIM and Winjab send a packet to
update.jabber.org.I believe they are checking for newer versions of the
client. Neither client gives you the option to turn this behaviour off.

     Interestingly I tried DJ Adams method and it worked for me. I haven't
tested Schuyler's method yet.

This is the sound of data leaking :)  It really should cause a delivery
error,
but it doesn't because of a small bug.  The proper way is:

<service id="update.jabber.org">
  <null/>
</service>
