Federation support was temporarily disabled, then re-enabled once they got spam filtering in place. Currently, XMPP works perfectly with a Gmail account.
- masnick 13y agoI wasn't aware of that. I actually ran into federation issues a few months ago, but maybe it has been fixed since then. My understanding is that upgrading to Hangouts still disables the old XMPP support.
