Public bug reported:
Some users have reported spam messages being sent to them by mahara.org
users.
These spammers have manually created accounts on Mahara.org and just
emailed (via direct messages within Mahara) a large number of users,
copy and pasting the same code.
A solution would be to queue up all user-to-user emails (for say 5 or 10
minutes) and wait to see if a given user sends the exact same message to
a large number of users (say more than 5 people ?) in that time. If
that's the case, then the other emails should be discarded and a warning
sent to the site admin.
