Dear Kevin,

I'll check with the Stanford XMPP server managers and let you know.

Sincerely,

Do you know if the XMPP server being used is Openfire?  There is a known
issue which causes exactly the behavior you have described:

https://igniterealtime.org/issues/browse/OF-829

This issue exists in 3.9.2 and 3.9.3, and downgrading the server to
3.9.1 or upgrading it to 3.10.0 is supposed to resolve it.  However,
there is another major problem with 3.10.0 and I wouldn't recommend
upgrading until 3.10.1 is released.
