jabber.hot-chilli.net is a free Jabber/XMPP service for everybody.
There is no commercial background for this project. We just want to support the XMPP protocol with all its benefits and possibilities by running this server.
What exactly is Jabber/XMPP?
XMPP is the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, a set of open technologies for instant messaging, presence, multi-party chat, voice and video calls, collaboration, lightweight middleware, content syndication, and generalized routing of XML data. XMPP was originally developed in the Jabber open-source community to provide an open, secure, spam-free, decentralized alternative to the closed instant messaging services at that time. XMPP offers several key advantages over such services: open, standard, proven, decentralized, secure, extensible, flexible, diverse.
(taken from xmpp.org)
The purpose of this website is to introduce you into the functions of our server and also to indicate new features and to alert you about problems and maintainance tasks.
If you have questions you can always contact us via Jabber or email. As already mentioned this project, not as our other services, has no commercial background and we run the server in our free time it always can accur that we may be online in the support channel but are not really physically there or will not response to emails immediately. Please excuse us for this.

Rss is so confusing!
Hello, and thanks a lot for icq->jabber transport. My question is … when somebody who is NOT on my ICQ contact list will try to send me ICQ message …. will this message be transported to my jabber account ?
Basically right now all my ICQ contacts are like this … @icq.jabbar.hot-chilli.net
Now suppose somebody with ICQ# 1234567 (and NOT in my list) using regular ICQ client will send me ICQ message to my ICQ#.
Will this message get delivered to me, while I’m (for example) using gTalk or PSI+ or any other jabber client ? Or only messages from people ALREADY in my contact list will be delivered ?
In my opinion you can set ICQ to just accept messages from people in contact list, but you have to do this with a native client. Also you can set the ICQ transport via ad hoc to not accept authorization requests anymore. I had huge problems with many many spam auth requests, so I turned this off.
Roy or Beorn,
I work with Mac OSX 10.7.2 and Safari 5.1.1
I have an Jabber account at your site.
When opening your website http://jabber.hot-chilli.net/ it gives a message that 3 mistakes appeared when opening.
I can not connect to MSN transport. ( I would like to chat with MSN users )
Can you please help with this?
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Please contact us via email to get your problems solved.
GG Transport is down. Are there any chances to repair it?
GG transport should again. I restarted all transport services this morning after I did an upgrade of the Spectum software.
It runs great now on! Thx for your kind and swift assistance Roi!
I hate to be a bother about this (as I’ve asked about it both in the Support MUC and via email), but it recently came to my attention that Dax has updated the JMC to play nicely with SMTP over SSL. Considering the JMC appears to be broken now, might now be a good time to upgrade?
@Marcxjo: Thank you for the reminder. Dax send me the new version as I have been in contact with him for months now and brought up some bugs. But I had no time yet to update. Will do in the next days.
Please transport this wonderful service provided by professionals in the hot-chilli.net with MSN, will be restored?
Thank you for the service provided and quality.
MSN transport is down? When will it work?
The MSN transport should work again since 10th of November. If you still experience problems, please leave me a short note.
MSN still seems to be down? :’(
hmm… Ok, I restarted the whole jabber service.
Please have a look. If it still isn’t working, I’ll try to do a more detailed anaylsis.
Any problems with icq.jabber.hot-chilli.net? transport is offline
same here – icq transport can’t be reached since yesterday evening.
I hope you get this great service up running again soon.
Thx in advance!
Still having problems with MSN too
I restarted the jabber server again.
Hope that the problems will now be gone?
looks like it works now – hopefully for other icq transport users too.
Thanks a lot again!
The MSN Transport seems to be down, thank you in advance
The MSN Transport seems to be down, thank you in advance.
Hi,
ICQ transport stopped working again
TIA
Are both the XMPP transport’s working ok?
I have had for hte past couple of days my account not signing in, saying Service Unavailable error message in Pidgin.
I restarted the whole jabber server an hour ago.
Still not working?
ICQ transport is up on duty now, THX!
XMPP transports connect, but I can’t talk to anyone. In fact all my contacts appear as offline and I appear offline to everybody.
xmpp.jabber.hot-chilli.net is down two days
I confirm XMPP is not working yet.
I restarted the whole service again. Could you please check whether it is working now?
j2j.jabber.hot-chilli.net
does not work
Ok, after realizing that a few services were hanging in an “uninterruptible sleep”, I rebootet the whole machine.
I hope all services are working properly now and this not only for 1 day…
Let me know if you experience any problems.

Is anyone having problems with the MSN Transport?
I have not been able to login since the 13th January.
@ AntonK: I also had several and severe problems with Miranda and therefore switched to Pidgin months ago. I also was not able to connect due to timeouts. Disable SSL and I am sure you can connect again. It seems that SSL slows down everything for Miranda and therefore creates timeouts.
@ Andy Rogers: MSN should work again, I have just restarted and tested it.
Which xmpp does your public server employ?
Prosody (yay)
OpenFire
Ejabberd, tigase, etc
Are there multiple options via multiple subdonains?
Where can I find a list of active XEP?
List of active server modules?
Will hot-chilli plan to switch to prosody? If not why do you consider ejabberd better?
Are there multiple options via multiple subdonains? One subdomain for prosody, one for tigase?
Where can I find a list of active XEP?
List of active server modules?
Hey all,
I’m using the ICQ transport and seeing something weird.
Every message that comes in has before the actual message. Anybody else experience this?
Sorry this got left out my message.
Every message that comes in has an HTML tag before the actual message. The HTML tag contains proper syntax formatting too (which is why it got removed from my post above).
This has now been fixed.
Now it’s back
I just restarted all Spectrum transports. It seems that ICQ had a problem.
Thanks Roi… it was fixed temporarily, but still seems to be an issue for me.
All my AIM messages have the tag in front of them too
I can connect, but it shows I have no contacts online, while in fact there are. What configuration do you recommend in Apple iChat? I’m using Port 5223 using SSL, or 5222 without SSL… none of them bring contacts. They used to work fine last year… thanks!
Did you try a different client program like Adium? Maybe there was something wrong with the server. But it works fine for days now.
Is jabber.hot-chilli.net is free Jabber/XMPP for everybody?
Yes, this server is a free service for everybody. Just the Jabber domain hosting, where you can host your own domain for Jabber usage is not free of charge.
Is Twitter Transport working well? (17.08 04-04-12) Thanks.
Cramirez, all transports, especially Twitter, are flapping a lot on the last weeks. It seems that there were some changes, but nobody is aware of what might have changed. I hope we do not have to wait until Spectrum 2 to get things better.
Since I’ve started using the MSN Transport, I am swamped with an authorization request for each of my MSN contacts every time I log on to Jabber. How can I prevent this ? I’ve granted them all; denied them all. I’ve used the Unregister feature on the ‘Hot-Chilli MSN Transport’ Node, as well as the Register whil checking the ‘Remove your registration feature’. I did these two things with my correct password as well as an incorrect one. I cannot seem to be able to get rid of this. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Has anyone succeeded in adding msn contacts to the Google Talk chatlist?
Is anyone having problems with MSN?
for the past couple of days I have been unable to connect.
I’m having trouble setting up Jabber on Pidgin. Any suggestions?
Hello.
Sorry for my English.
Your site recommend to use by repair bug with character “%” in username. This bug have GTalk client on Android platform.

I as many any people use mail.ru agent (mrim). And have this problem. But your gate do not have transport for mrim.
If you make this transport is will very nice.
Evgeniy.
I just set up transportation for my yahoo account and see my contacts offline. I can talk to them but they see me online but I do not. Transportation needs special settings?
