-------------------------------+---------------------
 Add a new opt-in/out? email notification service for relay operators for
 endpoints in descriptors as they are announced; before adding to
 consensus, as authorities may one day opt not to publish descriptors with
 endpoints under active attack.

 As new descriptors are processed, sned an email alert to designated
 recipients if the listed endpoint is under an "active attack", as distinct
 from anomalous route changes or advertisement behavior, nor does it
 encompass benign incompetence affecting widespread route behavior of an
 indiscriminate nature.

 Note that third parties may opt to receive email alerts of BGP attacks for
 arbitrary relay identities; this should be supported, and perhaps linked
 to via Atlas?

 Rate limiting and or / summaries should be implemented to avoid sending
 excessive numbers of email notifications to the same recipient.
