mod_smacks: Send out more ack requests where needed Under some circumstances it was possible that more than "max_unacked_stanzas" where left in the outgoing stanza queue without forcing an ack. This could happen, when more stanzas entered the queue while the last ack request was still unanswered. Now the test "#queue > max_unacked_stanzas" is done upon receiving an ack as well as when sending out stanzas, which fixes this bug.

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.
