Responding with <not-acceptable/> is the correct behavior for messages sent to a participant while not being joined, as of https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html#privatemessage There is no spec in 0045 for how to handle IQs to participants, but I'd consider it fair to do the same. If you are joined and ping a different participant, the obvious thing is to apply whatever IQ routing rules you have in place that are not required or mandated for by 0045, but folklore claims that the IQ will be routed to the "most active" client of that participant. > > - clients don't need two different code paths depending on a > > 'self-ping-supported' feature I've written in-depth about it in the first mail of this thread <https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/2017-October/033501.html> under "3. A silent intermittent network failure that eats some stanzas" The self-ping dance right now, implemented correctly and required to stay in a MUC is as follows: 1. set a (short, like maybe 15mins) timeout after the last stanza received from a MUC 2. on timeout: send a ping IQ to your own participant JID 3. (maybe) respond to the reflected ping IQ, depending whether you are the "most active" MSN and on the phase of the moon 4. if the ping IQ is responded to with iq-result, service-unavailable (official RFC response for a feature not implemented) or feature-not-implemented (incorrect but found in the wild response for feature not implemented): phew, we are still joined, we are done 5. if the ping IQ is responded to with anything else: we lost the connection to the MUC, send presence-unavailable, rejoin 6. if the ping IQ times out, one of your clients probably lost the connection to the MUC, just to be sure we need to send presence-unavailable, rejoin You could do things with presence updates and silent messages to the MUC, but those end up O(N²) with N clients, and not all MUCs allow MUC-PMs. Georg
