mod_http_oauth2: Reject non-local hosts in more code paths We're not issuing tokens for users on remote hosts, we can't even authenticate them since they're remote. Thus the host is always the local module.host so no need to pass around the host in most cases or use it for anything but enforcing the same host.

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

Compatibility

Caveats/Todos/Bugs
==================

-   Currently SMTP sending blocks the whole server. This should not be
    noticeable 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?
