summary: Limit rate of outgoing unsolicited messages

---

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:

``` {.lua}

unsolicited_messages_per_minute = 10

```

To enable limits on unsolicited messages from s2s connections:

``` {.lua}

unsolicited_s2s_messages_per_minute = 100

```
