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.
