Problems with the privacy list

Submitted by Lastwebpage on Tue, 2007-10-30 16:50

Hello,
I setup a rule "If User is XYZ then deny ... else allow all" in my privacy list. The stanza type make no different.

The problem is that on the server jabber.org it's enough to push "apply" and make sure the list with this rule is active, the rule get execute immediately.
Now I make exactly the same rule with the login server jabbim.com.
Nothing happens, the user can still send messages to me or see my status, until I go offfline and online again.
(Jabber.org ejabberd 1.1.4 (with patches), jabbim.com: I don't know)

-Which is the correct way?
-Is this a known problem?
-Is there a fix somewhere?
-Could this be a client problem? (I have test this with miranda and PSI, the same, but who knows...)

I asked this here, because some admins/users from jabber.org and the jabbim.com forum means I should ask here.

Seems fixed in recent ejabberd versions

I tried with ejabberd SVN and Psi 0.11:

  1. I created two accounts in that small server.
  2. Login to both accounts with two Psi instances.
  3. Added between them as contacts. They can see the other contact and chat.
  4. On the first account -> Modify Account -> Privacy -> Advanced -> New List -> testlist -> OK
  5. -> Add ->
    If JID otheraccount@example.org
Then Deny 
  [x] Messages
  [x] Queries
  [x] Outgoing Presence
  [x] Incoming Presence

    -> OK

  6. Active List -> testlist
    Default List -> testlist
  7. Apply, Close
  8. From now on, this account does not receive or send any packet to otheraccount.

So it works for me using ejabberd SVN.

jabber.org advertizes ejabberd 1.1.4. It has some patches to prevent server abuse, but I think they are not related to this issue. jabbim.com uses ejabberd 1.1.2

I think that the correct behavior is to apply your changes immediately, when you click 'Apply' :)

Here you can see the latest changes in mod_privacy:
https://forge.process-one.net/browse/ejabberd/trunk/src/mod_privacy.erl

I don't know if it's a bug in older ejabberd releases, but it seems fixed in recent versions.

Yes, it could be another reason. But as I said, using Psi 0.11 (the Debian package) and ejabberd development version all worked correctly.
