+Deprecation of the current spam checker interface
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+The current spam checker interface is deprecated in favour of a new generic modules system.
+Authors of spam checker modules can refer to `this documentation <https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/modules.html#porting-an-existing-module-that-uses-the-old-interface>`_
+to update their modules. Synapse administrators can refer to `this documentation <https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/modules.html#using-modules>`_
+to update their configuration once the modules they are using have been updated.
+
+We plan to remove support for the current spam checker interface in August 2021.
+
+More module interfaces will be ported over to this new generic system in future versions
+of Synapse.
