   From: nospam.Paul.Hayton@f100.n770.z3.fidonet.org   
      
   A suggestion for echomail hub function.   
      
   Had a node that had a BOT malfunction that was sending out around multiple   
   messages per minute to the FSX_BOT echo. All messages had different MSGID and   
   were essentially different in body content.   
      
   It would be good if Mystic could detect the flooding of an echo by a node and   
   if a threshold is reached stop the messages from continuing to be processed.   
   Perhaps an auto delink from echo if x messages posted within x minutes plus a   
   netmail alert sent to node + hub admin?   
      
   Dunno... but thought I'd pass this one along, not sure how other tossers handle   
   such things. We ended up with 8570 messages posted before it was caught and   
   manually delinked.   
      
   Best, Paul
