<p>Called when receiving an event from a client or via federation. The callback must return either:</p>
<ul>
<li>an error message string, to indicate the event must be rejected because of spam and
give a rejection reason to forward to clients;</li>
<li>the boolean <code>True</code>, to indicate that the event is spammy, but not provide further details; or</li>
<li>the booelan <code>False</code>, to indicate that the event is not considered spammy.</li>
<li><code>synapse.module_api.ALLOW</code>, to allow the operation. Other callbacks
may still decide to reject it.</li>
<li><code>synapse.api.Codes</code> to reject the operation with an error code. In case
of doubt, <code>synapse.api.error.Codes.FORBIDDEN</code> is a good error code.</li>
<li>(deprecated) a <code>str</code> to reject the operation and specify an error message. Note that clients
typically will not localize the error message to the user's preferred locale.</li>
<li>(deprecated) on <code>False</code>, behave as <code>ALLOW</code>. Deprecated as confusing, as some
callbacks in expect <code>True</code> to allow and others <code>True</code> to reject.</li>

callback that does not return <code>False</code> will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
any of the subsequent implementations of this callback.</p>
