mod_throttle_unsolicited

Introduction

This module limits the rate of outgoing unsolicited messages from local clients. Optionally, unsolicited messages coming in from remote servers may be limited per s2s conneciton. A message counts as “unsolicited” if the receiving user hasn’t added the sending user to their roster.

The module depends on mod_track_muc_joins in order to allow sent messages to joined MUC rooms.

Configuration

To set a limit on messages from local sessions:

unsolicited_messages_per_minute = 10

To enable limits on unsolicited messages from s2s connections:

unsolicited_s2s_messages_per_minute = 100

sudo prosodyctl install --server=https://modules.prosody.im/rocks/ mod_throttle_unsolicited
