Not sure, but I think exodus looks for error presences, not for error
messages. But someone should be here with more insigt to Exodus.

Not sure what is meant by that. Presently I am not aware of a difference
in jabberd 1.4.2 / 1.4.3(.1) regarding handling of deleted users. In
both they just disappear if you delete the xml file (and have setup xdb
to cache xml files only for a limited time).

What has been changed in handling of deleted users is, that 1.4.4-beta1
does and 1.4.4 will send unsubscription requests to the contacts of a
user, if a user deletes his account. But this only works, if the account
of the users is unregistered "the normal way". If you just delete a
users xml file, the server has no way to unsubscribe to the user'c
contact, as it does not longer have knowledge who subscribed to this
user's presence.

If you delete users on a regulary basis, you should really consider
deleting the users sending an unregister request after authenticating as
this user and not just deleting the users file.
