How to configure ejabberd cfg file properly to wotk with pyMSNt?

Recently I followed the pyMSNt installation guide to install pyMSNt in order to let my jabber server(ejabberd) to talk to MSN IM, and when I added the entry into ejabberd cfg file, as insttructed by pyMSNt guide,

{5347, ejabberd_service, [{host, "msn.host.com",
                               [{password, "secret"}]}]},

after that, the jabber server won't start anymore. I carefully checked the syntax and wording, and nothing wrong with my adding. If I took that entry out, the jabber server can be started normally.

Could someone tell me what is wrong with my installation or configuration?

Many thanks in advance. Your help is highly appreciated!

Check ejabberd.log for error messages

Check ejabberd.log for any error message. If you get something like this: Can't load config file, then the error in a syntax. If so, publish the 'listen' section or all your cfg file so we take a look. Maybe the syntax error is difficult to find.

Just let everyone know I

Just let everyone know I finally figure out what was wrong. The host name must be the local server name, which is not yet on the public domain. So we need to use NetBIOS name instead of regular FQDN. Thanks for any suggestions anyway.
