  # Module to block messages from listed homeservers
  - module: "synapse_simple_antispam.AntiSpamHomeserverMessages"
    config:

      # Soft failing can help prevent messages from going down sync streams.
      soft_fail: false

  # Module to block messages with the given text regexes
  - module: "synapse_simple_antispam.AntiSpamRegex"
    config:
      # If true, the blocked messages will be soft failed by synapse.
      # Soft failing can help prevent messages from going down sync streams.
      soft_fail: false
      blocked_messages:
        - "spam"  # "spam" anywhere in the message
        - "sp[am]+" # "spammmm", "spaaaammmmm", etc
  # Module to block registration for usernames with the given text regexes
  - module: "synapse_simple_antispam.AntiSpamRegistrationRegex"
    config:
      blocked_usernames:
        - "spambot" # identical regex handling to the AntiSpamRegex module
        - "naughtyword"

Synapse will need to be restarted to apply the changes. To modify the list of homeservers, update the config and restart Synapse.
