[geeklog-devel] Email Throttling (was GSoC 2008:Core notification service)

[Joe Mucchiello]

One problem. Mailman is not available on any shared host I'm aware 
of. Most don't support Python. And Mailman requires a C compiler to 
install. That's usually not available on shared hosts either.

Shared hosts with these restrictions are the hosts that need the 
throttling the most.
