+summary: Forward offline messages via email
+...
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Quite often when I am out and about, I'm not able to connect to Jabber.
+It is usually much more likely I can access my email though (whether via
+the web, or a mobile client).
+
+For this reason I decided it would be extremely useful to have Jabber
+messages sent to me while I was offline forwarded to my email inbox.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+Simply add "offline\_email" to your modules\_enabled list. When any user
+receives a message while they are offline, it will automatically be
+forwarded via mail to the **same** address as their Jabber ID. e.g.
+user1@example.com's offline messages will be forwarded to
+user1@example.com's email inbox.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+  Option                   Description
+  ------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  queue\_offline\_emails   The number of seconds to buffer messages for, before they are sent as an email. The default is to send each message as it arrives.
+  smtp\_server             Address of the SMTP server to send through. Default 'localhost' (recommended, see caveats below)
+  smtp\_username           If set, Prosody will authenticate with the SMTP server before sending (default is no authentication)
+  smtp\_password           The password for the above user (default is none)
+  smtp\_from               Address from which it will appear the emails came. Default is smtp\_username@smtp\_server, where smtp\_username is replaced with 'xmpp' if not set

+Caveats/Todos/Bugs
+==================
+
+-   Currently SMTP sending blocks the whole server. This should not be
+    noticable if your mail server is on the same machine as Prosody.
+-   There is not (yet) any way to configure forwarding to an email
+    address other than your JID (idea... use email address in vcard?)
+-   Enable/disable this feature per user?
