mod_ping_muc: Delay ping a configurable amount of time If a server is restarting, checking immediately before it has a chance to complete its restart and get ready would often fail, preventing the possibility of transparent restarts as supported by Prosody's mod_muc. Reconnecting immediately when a connection is closed for being idle, or because the remote server is trying to reclaim some resources, is also counter-productive as the connection may fail. Also, if there is some Internet routing problem affecting s2s, it may help to wait a bit before checking, in case the problem resolved itself in the mean time.

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

This module provides the *Edit Blacklist* ad-hoc command described in
[XEP-0133](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0133.html#edit-blacklist) and
also performs the actual blocking of incoming and outgoing
server-to-server connections.

Using
=====

In your client, simply select the Edit Blacklist command from the list
of adhoc commands. E.g. in Pidgin, this is under *Accounts -\> (your
account)* in the menu.
