 wp-mail.php is exposed to run by third-party. If a malicious user loads
 wp-mail.php continuously, the sequential access to a mail server will
 occur.
 To protect these attack, wp-mail.php needs to be invoked with certain
 intervals.

 I propose a constatnt '''WP_MAIL_INTERVAL''' to define interval minutes,
 and a option value '''mailserver_last_checked''' to keep the datetime when
 WordPress checked the mail server.
 You can stop using wp-mail.php if WP_MAIL_INTERVAL is set to zero (0).
