DJabberd
DJabberd is a high-performance, scalable, extensible Jabber/XMPP server framework. While it comes with an example server, it's really a set of classes for you to build your own Jabber server without understanding Jabber. Instead of working with XML and protocol-specific details, you subclass parts and work with sane objects and data structures and let DJabberd do all the ugly work.
Consider DJabberd the mod_perl/qpsmtpd/Perlbal/Plagger of the XMPP world. Everything is a plugin. The framework lets you override the behavior of:
Authentication
Authorization
Roster Storage
Automatic roster population
Presence lookup
Message delivery
Internode communication
