XMPP/Mattermost sync

[v1r]

Hi there,
Hope you are doing well!

I am trying to bridge XMPP with Mattermost and I have a few questions:
- Does the bridge is intended to sync direct/private messages.. Let's say I wrote a durect message to xxx@jabber from a jabber client.. Does the message will be sent to that user in Mattermost?

After readign this #84, is there any fork of the repose that can enable direct messages?

- Also I am able to get a working config but there is messages are being relayed to both sides.. and I am not sure what to put in the channel attribute of the XMPP gateway config.. [Resolved]

Edit:
I just started reading this thread:
#84

The following is my configuration and output:

[xmpp.jabber]
Server="xxx:5222"
Jid="xxx"
Password="xxx"
Nick="xxx"
Muc="xxx@conference."
NoTLS=true
SkipTLSVerify=true
RemoteNickFormat="[{PROTOCOL}] <{NICK}> "


[mattermost.mymattermost]
#The mattermost hostname. (do not prefix it with http or https)
Server="xxxx"
SkipVersionCheck=true
Team="xxxx"
Nick="xxxx"
Login="xxx"
Password="xxxx"
NoTLS=true
RemoteNickFormat="[{PROTOCOL}] <{NICK}> "
PrefixMessagesWithNick=true


[[gateway]]
name="gateway1"
enable=true

[[gateway.inout]]
account="mattermost.mymattermost"
channel="town-square"

[[gateway.inout]]
account="xmpp.jabber"
channel="NOT SURE WHAT TO PUT HERE"

Output:

Thanks for illuminating me!

Hi, no sorry, direct messages to users isn't possible yet.
Only public channels.

@42wim Thanks for you quick answer. Do you think it will be available in the near future? I would also be surprised if it is faisable.. I mean direct messages are meant to be private... How it can be possible to catch or intercept that via a gateway... I am not so familiar with XMPP so it may be a dump question that I am asking :).

Update:
Oops! After a google search I found:

You could set up MatterIRCd and Biboumi (a XMPP to IRC gateway) to have a per user connection.
