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. * TM--transaction module--is used to send SIP requests.
1.2.2. External libraries or applications
The following libraries or applications must be installed before running OpenSIPS with this module: * none.
1.3. Exported Parameters

1.3.8. outbound_proxy (string)

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
The number of messages stored by msilo.
1.5.2. dumped_messages
The number of dumped messages.
1.5.3. failed_messages
The number of failed dumped messages.
1.5.4. dumped_reminders
The number of dumped reminder messages.
1.5.5. failed_reminders
The number of failed reminder messages.
