mod_tombstones: Remember deleted accounts #1307 Presence subscriptions are normally revoked on account deletion, which informs the contact. Sometimes this notification gets lost e.g. due to s2s problems. The accounts JID may also be present e.g. in MUC affiliations, chat group member lists, pubsub subscriptions or other systems. These may grant privileges which would fall to someone who creates the same account again, which this module is meant to prevent.

-- TODO warn when trying to create an user before the tombstone expires
-- e.g. via telnet or other admin interface
local datetime = require "util.datetime";
local errors = require "util.error";
local jid_split = require"util.jid".split;
local st = require "util.stanza";

-- Using a map store as key-value store so that removal of all user data
-- does not also remove the tombstone, which would defeat the point
local graveyard = module:open_store(nil, "map");

local ttl = module:get_option_number("user_tombstone_expiry", nil);
-- Keep tombstones forever by default
--
-- Rationale:
-- There is no way to be completely sure when remote services have
-- forgotten and revoked all memberships.

		local ok, err = graveyard:set(nil, event.username, os.time());
