This is not specific to gmail, it's in the protocol itself. And fwiw, it seems it works ootb with the libpurple flavor of bitlbee, connecting with an account f...@bar.com where the server is xmpp.bar.com and there's a dns srv record such as $host -t SRV _xmpp-client._tcp.bar.com _xmpp-client._tcp.bar.com has SRV record 0 5 5222 xmpp.bar.com With that i dont need to set the server in the account config - so you might want to have a look at how libpurple works here. That said, i'll recheck with the regular unflavored bitlbee, and with your diff. Landry
