In general, the proposal looks good.

Presuming that I followed it correctly...

I concur with Mary that you probably want to keep more than just the last email 
sent; some kind of history would be nice. This could help solve the issue of 
flagging mail messages that don't reach their destination.

Some sort of automated housekeeping UI might be nice too in this case.

I like Bob's suggestion of being able to subscribe to changes, like a new 
upload.

Maybe have a separate page the user can access within the UI to keep track of 
the email-related stuff....??

Hi Mark,
Thanks for sending this out - it looks good!  I have 2 comments/suggestions:

1)  Under your assumptions, you may want to add "the agent will assume the 
email address given is correct".

2)  Adding a column to the user table for the email agent to timestamp when the 
notification was sent doesn't feel right.
A) It will only record the most recent email sent - what if the user submits 
multiple jobs and wants email notifications for each?  Although, the user will 
receive multiple email notifications, only the most recent one will be recorded 
in the DB.
B) Adding an email timestamp column in the user table doesn't seem like the 
right place to store this info.  Maybe the email agent should maintain it's own 
table with info like, user, job id, timestamp, etc...

My 2 cents.
M
