You need to change the line:

<host><jabberd:cmdline flag="h">localhost</jabberd:cmdline></host>

and replace 'localhost' with the domain name of your server. Or, you 
could start jabberd like so: 'jabberd -h server.name.tld [-D]'

If you are behind a firewall and do not have a fully qualified domain 
name, you can still use your domain name but you will receive some error
messages from update.jabber.org. Don't worry about them, jabberd will 
run normally.
