mod_post_msg: Add sendxmpp-curl I wrote this script around the same time as this module. My local copy has a last modification timestamp of 2011-03-29, so it's been unchanged since then. The original rationale was that it seemed overkill to establish an entire XMPP session just to send a single message. Nowadays I'm quite happy using `clix` for this kind task.

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

Invites are an intermediate way between opening registrations completely and
closing registrations completely.

By letting users invite other users to the server, an administrator exposes
themselves again to the risk of abuse.

To combat that abuse more effectively, this module allows to store (outside
of the user’s information) who created an invite which was used to create the
user’s account.

Details
=======

Add to `modules_enabled`.

Caveats
=======

- The information is not deleted even when the associated user accounts are
  deleted.
- Currently, there is no way to make any use of that information.
