thanks for the help. but the problem is none of the hooks are fired for muc events. more specifically i want to get hold of any presence message sent by a user to muc room. the module i am writing POSTs these packets to our weblogic server. One of the requirements is the server should not receive duplicate packets. so i have to filter all the messages in the ejabberd module before POSTing. which is very difficult if listening on user_receive_packet, which is only hook i know of which will give me presence packets of muc.

ofcourse, it would be great if user_send_packet worked.

Looking at the ejabberd source code, it seems presence packets sent by the user use a different set of hooks:

When a local user sends the initial presence at login, or changes his presence information ('show' element, priority, or status text): set_presence_hook(User, Server, Resource, PresenceEl)
When a local user sends a presence of type 'unavailable': unset_presence_hook(User, Server, Resource, StatusText)
When a local user closes his c2s connection: unset_presence_hook(User, Server, Resource, PresenceEl)
When a local user closes his c2s connection after sending an unavailable presence, none of those hooks is called.
