6. Installation and Running
6.1. Kamailio config file
1. Overview
This modules provides offline message storage for the Kamailio SIP
Server Platform. 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 Kamailio, 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 that the SIP user to be registered use a SIP User Agent
that has no support for MESSAGE requests. In this case the
"failure_route" should be used to re-store the undelivered requests.
Another functionality provided by the module 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'.

4. Functions
4.1. m_store([owner])
4.2. m_dump([owner])
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 1.30. m_store usage
...
m_store();
m_store("$tu");
...
4.2. m_dump([owner])
The method sends stored messages for the SIP user that is going to
register to his actual contact address. The method should be called
when a REGISTER request is received and the "Expire" header has a value
greater than zero.
Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
* owner - is a string that must contain a SIP URI whose inbox will be
dumped. It can have any pseudo variable. If "owner" is missing, the
SIP address is taken from To URI.
This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE.
Example 1.31. m_dump usage
...
m_dump();
m_dump("$fu");
...
