Thanks for your answers, but it seems I was not able to explain myself clearly in my initial email. My apologies for that.
Basically what I would like to do is the gateway part of the diagram bellow: CLIENT <----- xmpp variation -----> GATEWAY <----- msn or xmpp -----> IM SERVICES This means that we would receive non standard XMPP messages in this gw server and, after performing all required business logic internally (this is not a pure gateway), we would need these messages to be translated both to pure XMPP and/or MSN according if the user is trying to connect to a Jabber IM service or MSN. Since I already need to translate this XMPP variation to standard XMPP, I was aiming to use an existing XMPP/MSN translator to allow me to connect to MSN. I know that PyMSNt does this already, but from the docs I've read it seems that this bridge needs a Jabber server in order to work. Is this correct or can I use PyMSNt directly without having a Jabber server available?
