Indeed, that appears to have fixed this problem. I sincerely appreciate your
taking the time to help me, Daniel. I do not recall having ever put any data
into that field in the past. It is not perfectly clear to me why it was
necessary now, to be honest. Is this simply one of the new servers used by
the domain of "jabber.org"? If so, why was the change made? Would this have
any effect on my configuration of Pidgin OTR as well?
