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.

BTW, I've been running 2.1.5 with this problem, and 2.1.7
still exhibits the vulnerability.
