Re: Jabber jabbering too much

[James Traynor <james@xxxxxxx>]

Ok,  it's all switchboard then.
Switchboard by defaults sends 2 display messages in the tosendim.txt
file which is triggered on each IM presence change.
<start>
Type=slimp3
Target=>
L1=Instant Messenger Alert
L2=*Fullname* is *Status*
Duration=20
<end>
<start>
Type=message.display
Target=>
L1=Instant Messenger Alert
L2=*Fullname* is *Status*
Duration=20
<end>
The top one is what is going to your slimp3's  and the bottom one is
going to your jabber users.  Just delete them  and it'll stop jabbering.
(xAP Jabber only relays message.display messages.)

As a side note you should see in Switchboard a new IM tab where you can
view user's presence as well as a log of changes
