Hi,
IS this run though OS X Server's iChat Server ?
Or are you running another Jabber Server ?
Any Jabber server using a SSL Login will use port 5223
Non SSL Login use port 5222
Server to Server Federation (the thing that lets you add Buddies from Other servers is on port 5269
See This Apple Doc
"Waiting for Authorisation"
This happens in iChat because when you Add a Jabber Buddy, this Request for Authorisation is sent once.
It Needs the Buddy to Accept or Decline the Invite to be a Buddy.
Other Jabber apps resend the Request for Authorisation until the Buddy actually sees the request and does something with it.
The only thing to do in iChat is to delete the Buddy and re-add them when you know they are going to be able to respond.
The other messages look a little like a DNS issue with the Writing Center's Internet/Server connection.
If this is about iCHat Server then you may need to post in OS X Server Forums.
