Decentralized reliable instant messaging?

I'm looking for a decentralized instant message system (e.g. XMPP, SIP, ...) where I can be sure that I receive all messages, even if I'm not connected when the message is sent [ Obviously, I'll only receive them when I'm back online. ] IIUC there is some XMPP features that allow such reliable de

problem with version numbering in packages openssl and libssl1.0.0?

Is there a problem with the version numbering for the packages "openssl" and "libssl1.0.0"? It seems I get the version from jessie/main and that the version from jessie/updates/main is ignored because of the extra letter in the version number. Isn't 1.0.1k-3+deb8u5 the prefered version here? If so,
