"The biggest advantage of the Jabber server when compared with commercial IM servers is that, since it is open source, anyone can run a Jabber server and it can be restricted to a specific community like a company work force or a group of friends.

Up the line from most of those clients, however, is a larger-scale server that transmits mail across the Internet. Some might say that security starts at the server.
