  141. <h1 id="handling-spam-in-synapse"><a class="header" href="#handling-spam-in-synapse">Handling spam in Synapse</a></h1>
  142. <p>Synapse has support to customize spam checking behavior. It can plug into a
  143. variety of events and affect how they are presented to users on your homeserver.</p>
  144. <p>The spam checking behavior is implemented as a Python class, which must be
  145. able to be imported by the running Synapse.</p>
  146. <h2 id="python-spam-checker-class"><a class="header" href="#python-spam-checker-class">Python spam checker class</a></h2>
  147. <p>The Python class is instantiated with two objects:</p>
  148. <ul>
  149. <li>Any configuration (see below).</li>
  150. <li>An instance of <code>synapse.module_api.ModuleApi</code>.</li>
  151. </ul>
  152. <p>It then implements methods which return a boolean to alter behavior in Synapse.
  153. All the methods must be defined.</p>
  154. <p>There's a generic method for checking every event (<code>check_event_for_spam</code>), as
  155. well as some specific methods:</p>
  156. <ul>
  157. <li><code>user_may_invite</code></li>
  158. <li><code>user_may_create_room</code></li>
  159. <li><code>user_may_create_room_alias</code></li>
  160. <li><code>user_may_publish_room</code></li>
  161. <li><code>check_username_for_spam</code></li>
  162. <li><code>check_registration_for_spam</code></li>
  163. <li><code>check_media_file_for_spam</code></li>
  164. </ul>
  165. <p>The details of each of these methods (as well as their inputs and outputs)
  166. are documented in the <code>synapse.events.spamcheck.SpamChecker</code> class.</p>
  167. <p>The <code>ModuleApi</code> class provides a way for the custom spam checker class to
  168. call back into the homeserver internals.</p>
  169. <p>Additionally, a <code>parse_config</code> method is mandatory and receives the plugin config
  170. dictionary. After parsing, It must return an object which will be
  171. passed to <code>__init__</code> later.</p>

  205. <p>Modify the <code>spam_checker</code> section of your <code>homeserver.yaml</code> in the following

  207. <p>Create a list entry with the keys <code>module</code> and <code>config</code>.</p>
  208. <ul>
  209. <li>
  210. <p><code>module</code> should point to the fully qualified Python class that implements your

  213. <li>
  214. <p><code>config</code> is a dictionary that gets passed to the spam checker class.</p>

  224. </code></pre>
  225. <p>More spam checkers can be added in tandem by appending more items to the list. An
