Name
from — Set by server
Synopsis
<message from='dj@yak/Desktop'>
The from attribute of the
<message/>
element shows the message originator’s JID. In many cases this is the JID
of a user, but with the message type groupchat, for example, it can be
the JID of the conference room in the place where the message was originally sent.
The from attribute
should not be set by the client. It is the Jabber server, to which the
client from where the message originated is connected, that sets the
attribute value. This is to prevent spoofing of JIDs. If a
from attribute is set, it will
be overriden by the server.
