+Introduction
+============
+
+In order to build heuristics for which messages are spam, it is necessary to
+log as many details as possible about the spammers. This module sends a
+version and disco query whenever a message is received from a JID to a user it
+is not subscribed to. The results are printed to Prosody's log file at the
+'info' level. Queried full JIDs are not queried again until Prosody restarts.
+
+The queries are sent regardless of whether the local user exists, so it does
+not reveal if an account is active.
+
+Compatibility
