    This doesn't look like Jabber denying the connection but something else.

    Nope, only heard of their existence them, haven't used them.

    Depends on whether you want external servers to be able to use the
    transports/services on your server. One example is jabber-muc, it's
    problably good to have a host name for it that is externally resolvable,
    unless you never plan to invite people on other jabber servers into a
    conference on your server. As for the transports to other IM networks,
    they work just fine with host names like aim.localhost, icq.localhost,
    etc.
