Hi
We are working on a chat application involving ejabberd server.
I have ejabberd 14.07 installed on my server. I am manually deleting a user from the admin interface. The user gets deleted successfully.
Now when we re-register the user from the client application again, the other contacts are not able to fetch its presence.
Any inputs?
another example
Here's what I'm seeing:
* create a user matt
* create a user fred
* matt asks to subscribe to fred's presence notification
* fred receives subscription request and responds with "subscribed" presence packet.
* remove fred using web admin interface
* create a new user, also called fred
* matt asks to subscribe to fred's presence notification
* fred never receives subscription request
* matt and fred appear in each others' rosters but the subscription type is "none".
When I look (with a binary viewer) in the roster.dcd file in the "spool" directory, I see users in there that I have deleted and who aren't showing in the web admin interface.
Has anybody else experienced this behaviour?

Kunal Khanna
It is the intended
It is the intended behaviour:
You delete the user: his data are deleted, including contact list (roster).
When you recreate it, you need to approve again contact that can see his presence (because contact list was deleted).
For privacy reason, deleting a user obviously need to trigger deletion of his other data.
The fact that data is in database log for a while does not mean it is not deleted.
Anyway, if you delete a user, you need to have him add contact again and recreate roster so that you get presence properly.
