Chapter 1. Admin Guide
1.1. Overview
This modules provides offline message storage for the Open SIP
Server. It stores received messages for an offline user and
sends them when the user becomes online.
For each message, the modules stores "Request-URI" ("R-URI")
only if it is a complete address of record
("username@hostname"), URI from "To" header, URI from "From"
header, incoming time, expiration time, content type and body
of the message. If "R-URI" is not an address of record (it
might be the contact address for current SIP session) the URI
from "To" header will be used as R-URI.
When the expiration time passed, the message is discarded from
database. Expiration time is computed based on incoming time
and one of the module's parameters.
Every time when a user registers with OpenSIPS, the module is
looking in database for offline messages intended for that
user. All of them will be sent to contact address provided in
REGISTER request.
It may happen the SIP user to be registered but his SIP User
Agent to have no support for MESSAGE request. In this case it
should be used the "failure_route" to store the undelivered
requests.
Another functionality provided by the modules is to send
messages at a certain time -- the reminder functionality. Using
config logic, a received message can be stored and delivered at
a time specified while storing with the 'snd_time_avp'.
1.2. Dependencies
1.2.1. OpenSIPS modules
The following modules must be loaded before this module:
* database module - mysql, dbtext or other module that
implements the "db" interface and provides support for
storing/receiving data to/from a database system.

1.4. Exported Functions
1.4.1. m_store([owner])
The method stores certain parts of the current SIP request (it
should be called when the request type is MESSAGE and the
destination user is offline or his UA does not support MESSAGE
requests). If the user is registered with a UA which does not
support MESSAGE requests you should not use mode="0" if you
have changed the request uri with the contact address of user's
UA.
Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
* owner - is a string that must contain a SIP URI in whose
inbox the message will be stored. It can have any pseudo
variable. If "owner" is missing, the SIP address is taken
from R-URI.
This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE.
Example 1.27. m_store usage
...
m_store();
m_store("$tu");
...
1.4.2. m_dump([owner])
The method sends stored messages for the SIP user that is going
to register to his actual contact address. The method should be
called when a REGISTER request is received and the "Expire"
header has a value greater than zero.
Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
* owner - is a string that must contain a SIP URI whose inbox
will be dumped. It can have any pseudo variable. If "owner"
is missing, the SIP address is taken from To URI.
This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE.
Example 1.28. m_dump usage
...
m_dump();
m_dump("$fu");
...
1.5. Exported Statistics
1.5.1. stored_messages
