Question

I’m trying to use eJabberd to host a chatting service. The problem I am running into is say we have a chat between UserA and UserB.
UserA sends the message “hello” to UserB.
Problem is, UserA doesn’t receive a copy of that message he sent.

If eJabberd doesn’t send back sent messages to the sender, then how am I supposed to keep multiple chat instances up to day?

For example, say I have two of my chat instances open with UserA.
Instance 1 sends the message “Hello” to UserB, but Instace2UserA has no idea that Instance2UserA sent a message, there for he can’t have a log of that happening.

Am I maybe missing a setting, or something to make this work?

Thanks.

Another example is say you log onto facebook chat on your phone and on your computer, if you send someone a message from your phone, the chat on your computer knows it and shows it as well

Actually if you add the tag to your message, it will send you a response back with the id of the message you sent.
