how much are these services wasting sending out these emails? surely some rate limiting would be sensible


What are they wasting, other than recipient time?

Hundreds of reset mails a month is probably rate limited; otherwise it would be hundreds a day.


Compared to the torrent of actual spam this is just a drop in the bucket.
