Summary: Limit number of subscribe requests in a period

Initial Comment:
Add limits (number of requests in a day, and minimum
number of days before resetting the counter) to the
number of subscribe requests for an email address. 
Defaults would be 1 request in 1 day.

This is needed to prevent malicious mailbombing of an
innocent victim by someone repeatedly submitting their
address.  Currently the victim gets the verify.txt
template email for each submission.
