mod_auth_cyrus: Add empty 'profile' table to SASL handler objects This is for compatibility with Prosody's built-in util.sasl objects. A SASL profile table usually includes methods supported by the backend, which can be used by SASL mechanism handlers to perform operations (such as testing the password). It also optionally contains a 'cb' field with channel binding method handlers. The Cyrus backend doesn't support channel binding, and doesn't have the same concept of auth backend methods (it handles all that internally, and Prosody has no insight or control over it). Thus, we create an empty profile which informs Prosody that the SASL handler does not support any of the auth or channel binding methods. Some features will not work, but they didn't work anyway. This just makes it explicit. This fixes a traceback in mod_sasl2_fast, which expected SASL handlers to always contain a 'profile' field.

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?
