This happens at server-side, regardless of which IM client you are using. Joost de Valk has discovered that MSN server is censoring messages that contain “.info” domain name in the line.
I’ve tested with pidgin, the server is indeed rejecting conversations with such input. Here’s a screenshot.

Well done Microsoft. What’s next?
Origianal Story.

Yes, as what you read. The PHP developers have decided to announce that PHP 4 will be officially dropped from the project cycle. They need to concentrate on PHP 5, and the forthcoming PHP 6. As they’ve planned, any new feature of PHP will be made available to version 5.2 and above only. PHP 4 however, will still receive critical update until late 2008.
Frequently maintained projects like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, phpMyAdmin, PEAR, and phpBB shouldn’t be affected by this decision. This will mostly affect countless of web hosts out there, who serve millions of custom-made php scripts. This will be a very big headache.
