mod_compat_roles: New module providing compat shim for trunk's new role API The new role API is translated to is_admin() calls on older versions. On newer versions (which have the role API) this module does nothing. It allows modules to drop their use of is_admin() (which is not available in trunk) and switch to the new role API, while remaining compatible with previous Prosody versions.

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.
