you are aware of possible legal difficulties about logging?!

I really think that you shouldn't even try to log talking

It depends on the country you are in, but in most countries it is absolutely perfectly legal to log any (chat) messages send through your service. Just as you can for instance log what employees are doing on the internet during office hours. In some cases this requires you to inform your users their messages might be read, but I doubt it is the case with Mangos.

That being said, while usefull to find hackers for example, I am unsure how it can be done with an unmodified core. Should not be too hard though, it's just text.

You need to add in your terms of service that you are logging chats if there is a possible abuse blabla..., then its quite legal.
