I experimented with this on my personal server. 
I did not need nginx in front of prosody to do ssl, is there any other
advantage of using nginx?

I'm waiting for DSA to merge my patches so we can manage prosody with
puppet, weasel answered my second call to merge/review the patches

the current iteration of patches doesn't change the current config but
just manages the service using puppet, I plan to iterate on top of it
adding features afterwards

I plan to ask them again this week

have you, or anybody else, experimented with spam protection?

cheers
