mod_client_management: Include software version in table (when known) Showing software versions could be useful for statistical reasons, e.g. determining how quickly (or not) users upgrade, but most importantly for revoking vulnerable clients versions in case of a security issue.

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.
