Mail flood from the uncoordinated bugzilla cleanup

[Detlef Riekenberg]

Grrr.

Please remember, that some Free Mail accounts have a limit in the
numbers of Mails.

The flood was to fast to stop Mail-delivery in wine-bugs.
After i stopped Mail-delivery in wine-bugs, the sending queue was still
so full, that my Mailbox got flood again and the bounce rate reached the
limit and mailman disabled Mail-delivery for all wine groups.

Not nice.

Sorry.  Hopefully there won't be a next time, but if there
is, we should give people a few days warning so
they can unsubscribe.  Or we should disable sending
mail when doing bulk changes.
