+### Session marking
+
+It is possible to 'mark' sessions (see the MARK_ORIGIN action below). To match stanzas from marked sessions, use the
+`ORIGIN_MARKED` condition.
+
+  Condition                       Description
+  ------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------
+  ORIGIN_MARKED: markname         Matches if the origin has been marked with 'markname'.
+  ORIGIN_MARKED: markname (Xs)    Matches if the origin has been marked with 'markname' within the past X seconds.
+
+Example usage:
+
+    # This rule drops messages from sessions that have been marked as spammers in the past hour
+    ORIGIN_MARKED: spammer (3600s)
+    DROP.
+
+    # This rule marks the origin session as a spammer if they send a message to a honeypot JID
+    KIND: message
+    TO: honeypot@example.com
+    MARK_ORIGIN=spammer
+
