# Message Rewrite Facility
The Message Rewrite Facility (MRF) is a subsystem that is implemented as a series of hooks that allows the administrator to rewrite or discard messages.

The MRF provides user-configurable policies. The default policy is `NoOpPolicy`, which disables the MRF functionality. Pleroma also includes an easy to use policy called `SimplePolicy` which maps messages matching certain pre-defined criterion to actions built into the policy module.

You have the ability to prevent from private / followers-only messages from federating with specific instances. Which means they will only get the public or unlisted messages from your instance.
If, for example, you're using `MIX_ENV=prod` aka using production mode, you would open your configuration file located in `config/prod.secret.exs` and edit or add the option under your `:instance` config object. Then you would specify the instance within quotes.

### Use with Care
The effects of MRF policies can be very drastic. It is important to use this functionality carefully. Always try to talk to an admin before writing an MRF policy concerning their instance.

## Writing your own MRF Policy
As discussed above, the MRF system is a modular system that supports pluggable policies. This means that an admin may write a custom MRF policy in Elixir or any other language that runs on the Erlang VM, by specifying the module name in the `rewrite_policy` config setting.
