mod_auth_token: Timezone fix for TOTP checking luatz.time() returns milliseconds since epoch which is in UTC time, so we don't need to convert to UTC with gmtime. By calling gmtime, TOTP validation was failing when this module wasn't running on machine set to UTC time.

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.
