mod_motd

mod_motd allows you to set in the config a fixed message that will be sent to users every time they log into the server.

To send a message to newly-registered users only, see mod_welcome.

Usage

    modules_enabled = {
        -- Other modules
        "motd"; -- Enable mod_motd
    }
 
    -- Using [[ .. ]] instead of " .. " here
    -- allows the text to span multiple lines.
    motd_text = [[Welcome to the server!
    Please enjoy your stay.]]

Configuration

Option	Default	Notes
motd_text	"MOTD: (blank)"	The text of the MOTD message. Long text spanning multiple lines can use [[...]]
motd_jid	<hostname>	The address the message will be sent from. Defaults to the current VirtualHost. Overwrite to send from e.g. an admin's JID.
