[Bug 568839] Re: New "Headline: " message sent to my contacts when log in

[Axel Beckert]

Now also getting such messages from someone using Gajim on Karmic.

I have two Jabber accounts, one which is used on my N900 (uses telepathy
below IIRC), and one which is a Bitlbee IM to IRC gateway. Both connect
to a jabberd 1.4 running on Debian Lenny, but running on different
hosts.

In Bitlbee I do get these annoying messages, but not on the N900 despite
I have some of the contact which cause that problem on both accounts
(e.g. the Pidgin user on Gentoo).

So I do not expect empathy being the problem. I also do not suspect
jabberd 1.4 to be the problem but maybe Bitlbee.

Omer: Do the contacts which receive such messages from you, use Bitlbee,
too? The screenshots you send look like irssi being connected to a
Bitlbee.

I usually always get these messages in a set of three. It looks like
this for me:

14:29:48 [Bitlbee] [nickname(user at jabber.example.org)] Headline: 
14:29:48 [Bitlbee] [nickname(user at jabber.example.org)] Headline: 
14:29:49 [Bitlbee] [nickname(user at jabber.example.org)] Headline: 

The differences are that I do receive Jabber messages as private message
instead of in the Bitlbee IRC channel, that I do have seconds in the
timestamp and the IRC network. Without these settings it would look like
this:

14:29 <nickname> Headline: 
14:29 <nickname> Headline: 
14:29 <nickname> Headline: 

… which looks exactly what Omer's contacts seem to have provided as
"screenshot".
