You could even use it for "offline" delivery (i.e. the messages are stored on the server until client connects).

Python has a couple of neat (client) implementations that are easy to use, of course. Best regards -- Branko Majic Jabber: bra...@majic.rs Please use only Free formats when sending attachments to me.
