In my experience many sites will connect hourly or every few hours and
not just weekly. But if bandwith is a matter of concern you could
certainely add a text to the RSS link saying something along the lines
of the following: "Please do not poll this RSS feed every hour, but
rather just every week on [the day you publish the newsletter]".
