Title:
  queue user-to-user messages and remove duplicates

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
