Thanks for the quick response.

I am not sure of the dates, but that is probably it.

Literally everyone on my contact list is on gmail or a Google hosted
domain, so based on what you are saying, my options are few and clear.

Thanks,
Rusty

We have been testing full encryption of communications across the XMPP netw=
ork (which means that communications from <a href=3D"http://jabber.org" tar=
get=3D"_blank">jabber.org</a> to other XMPP servers are encrypted). Unfortu=
nately, to date Google has not been participating in those tests and they d=
o not support encryption of data to their servers from other XMPP servers s=
uch as <a href=3D"http://jabber.org" target=3D"_blank">jabber.org</a>. As a=
 result, on those test days no one could send IM or presence to users of Go=
ogle Talk or domains hosted on Google apps.<br>

<br>
Yesterday, along with many other services on the XMPP network, we (the <a h=
ref=3D"http://jabber.org" target=3D"_blank">jabber.org</a> admins) made a p=
ermanent switch to requiring encryption. Until and unless Google starts to =
support a higher level of security, you will be unable to communicate with =
anyone at Google Talk or domains hosted on Google apps.<br>

<br>
This is an unfortunate side effect of our trying to offer improved security=
 to our users. If you really need to chat with people on Google, you will n=
eed to use a Google account for the time being.<br>
<br>
And no, we&#39;re not happy about this either.<br>
