mod_smacks: Ignore user when writing or reading session_cache on prosody 0.9 At least under some circumstances it seems that session.username is nil when a user tries to resume his session in prosody 0.9. The username is not relevant when no limiting is done (limiting the number of entries in the session cache is only possible in prosody 0.10), so this commit removes the usage of the username when accessing the prosody 0.9 session cache.

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
