mod_post_msg: Add sendxmpp-curl I wrote this script around the same time as this module. My local copy has a last modification timestamp of 2011-03-29, so it's been unchanged since then. The original rationale was that it seemed overkill to establish an entire XMPP session just to send a single message. Nowadays I'm quite happy using `clix` for this kind task.

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.
