mod_firewall: Initialize compiled chunk just once for all handlers This should fix a case where some stateful dependencies (such as throttles) produce separate instances for every call to new_handler(), leading to surprising behaviour (e.g. rules executed via JUMP CHAIN vs ::deliver would have separate rate limits). This also adds better error handling in case the compiled code fails to run for some reason.

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.
