Exactly.

Yeah I was wondering same issue. How often to call the function. 

I would be fine have it just recalculate on mm startup and then afterwards on 
an explicit "refresh" - maybe allow it to be configured to time out.

Maybe have a the return value be a map/dictionary and allow something like:

{ 
  Value: { "max@universe", "[email protected]", "[email protected]" }
   Time-to-live: { "5min" } 
}

Overtime you could add more complex keys for handling file watch etc. 

Time-to-live would be in same format as send later.
