Your mailer has manged the patch. But I think it needs changes anyway,
so that's ok.

With your change, __should_check_rate() and should_check_rate() as the
same thing. You should rename __should_check_rate() to
should_check_rate(), get rid of the existing should_check_rate(), and
update callers that are currently using the __ version to using
should_check_rate(). Then your fix becomes and actual cleanup too, which
is nice.
