Problem with MSN server (linux socket programming)

sockets

I'm trying to use an open source MSN messenger(tmsnc oldest version) and it is out of support right now.
The problem is in socket part it is trying to connect hotmail.messenger.com (as host address) which is not supported any more, I searched about that and some guys were suggested to use

Quote:

messenger.hotmail.geo.msnmessenger.msn.com.akadns.net

instead but after it gives me the server in other parts such as send() it gives me connection reset by peer error or sometimes even cannot bind it.

Is that even possible to fix it? may by replacing other server or ...

What I have tried:

commented part is mine where i tried to simulate source part using getaddrinfo() and loop to find may a good result but in that way even it cannot bind.

int tcp_connect(char *server, int port)
 {
    /*
    struct addrinfo hints, *servinfo , *p;
    int sockfd;
    int rv;
    int yes = 1;
    
    memset(&hints, 0, sizeof hints);
    hints.ai_family = AF_INET;
    hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;

    if ((rv = getaddrinfo("messenger.hotmail.geo.msnmessenger.msn.com.akadns.net", "4000", &hints, &servinfo)) != 0) {
            fprintf(stderr, "getaddrinfo: %s\n", gai_strerror(rv));
            return 1;
    }

    // loop through all the results and bind to the first we can
    for(p = servinfo; p != NULL; p = p->ai_next) {
            if ((sockfd = socket(p->ai_family, p->ai_socktype,
                            p->ai_protocol)) == -1) {
                    perror("server: socket");
                    continue;
            }

            if (setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &yes,
                            sizeof(int)) == -1) {
                    perror("setsockopt");
                    exit(1);
            }

            if (bind(sockfd, p->ai_addr, p->ai_addrlen) == -1) {
                    close(sockfd);
                    perror("server: bind");
                    continue;
            }
            
            if (connect(sockfd, p->ai_addr, p->ai_addrlen) == -1) {
                close(sockfd);
                perror("client: connect");
                continue;
            }

            break;
    }

    freeaddrinfo(servinfo); // all done with this structure

    if (p == NULL)  {
            fprintf(stderr, "server: failed to bind\n");
            exit(1);
    }
    
    return sockfd;
