+_Changed in Synapse v1.60.0: `synapse.module_api.NOT_SPAM` and `synapse.module_api.errors.Codes` can be returned by this callback. Returning a boolean or a string is now deprecated._

-Called when receiving an event from a client or via federation. The callback must return either:
-  - `synapse.module_api.ALLOW`, to allow the operation. Other callbacks
-    may still decide to reject it.
-  - `synapse.api.Codes` to reject the operation with an error code. In case
-    of doubt, `synapse.api.error.Codes.FORBIDDEN` is a good error code.
-  - (deprecated) a `str` to reject the operation and specify an error message. Note that clients

 If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
-callback returns `synapse.module_api.ALLOW`, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the
-first callback that does not return `synapse.module_api.ALLOW` will be used. If this happens, Synapse
-will not call any of the subsequent implementations of this callback.
