mod_client_management: Use grant id from key This is a minor tweak - it's faster and preserves compatibility with older data formats (that we don't necessarily want to be compatible with, but some of us have messy data stores and it pays to be a little more robust).

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.
