  This is what pa module is for. pa stands for Presence Agent, this
  module can accept SUBSCRIBEs and generate NOTIFY messages. It can be
  connected with jabber module and provide presence updates of jabber
  presentities using SIP (SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY). Jabber module can also
  send/receive instant messages to/from jabber users.

  Your buddies in the contact list must be online to be able to call
  them easily with MS Messenger.

  As long as they use MS Messenger too, you should be able to see them
  online if they have Messenger running.

  If they do not use MS Messenger but they are registered at your
  server, you will need pa module to see them online. pa can comunicate
  with the registrar and will send you a notification whether a user is
  registered (online) or unregistered (offline). So in this case
  registered users will be rendered as online.

  Unfortunately it is not easy to deploy pa yet, at least you would have
  to use a recent CVS snapshot and we cannot guarantee that it will be
  stable. Presence Agent will be part of the next release.
