The gentleman did a reply (not reply-all), so I thought I'd answer and cc the list.
The MSN Messenger server (bundled with Exchange 2000), implements the MSN Messenger spec, and supplies interfaces for the "passport" authentication used by those wacky Microsoft Services. In and of itself the server doesn't call outside, but users of your site attempting to authenticate using passport (say to download a service pack from Microsoft, or some such nonense) will have a connection established on their behalf for authentication services. The actual spec used by this thing can be found on google (although it's not officially supported), which is why I was wondering if anyone had seen/heard of an open source version :) - David ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, December 01, 2002 5:34 PM Subject: RE:MSN Messenger SERVER for linux? > how does the exchange MSN Messenger server work, If it [messenger client] dials a centralised server? anyone? > > Regards, Dean. > > On Sun, 1 Dec 2002 17:24:39 -0500 "David Ellis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
