Default Flooding

It's a default setting (adjustable of course) which is designed to prevent some automated system from capturing the port and flooding it with messages until the server crashes. This HAS been a problem elsewhere in past - it's called a denial-of-service attack.

Just take your time between messages and you'll be fine.
