mod_smacks: Ignore user when writing or reading session_cache on prosody 0.9 At least under some circumstances it seems that session.username is nil when a user tries to resume his session in prosody 0.9. The username is not relevant when no limiting is done (limiting the number of entries in the session cache is only possible in prosody 0.10), so this commit removes the usage of the username when accessing the prosody 0.9 session cache.

summary: Monkeypatch mod_smacks to silently discard unacked message stanzas when a hibernation times out
...

Introduction
============

By default mod_smacks sends back error stanzas for every unacked message
stanza when the hibernation times out.
This leads to "message not delivered" errors displayed in clients.

When you are certain that *all* your clients use MAM, this is unneccessary and
confuses users (the message will eventually be delivered via MAM).

This module therefore monkeypatches mod_smacks to silently drop those
unacked message stanzas instead of sending error replies.
Unacked iq stanzas are still answered with an error reply though.

Warning
=======

You most certainly *should not* use this module if you cannot be certain
that *all* your clients support and use MAM!

Compatibility
