in reply to Module to limit email floods?

A simple approach would be to have your script create a digest of alerts and only send an actual email or SMS at a specified interval.

To further condense the information, if at each interval you only care that a specific alert has occurred, not how many times or at what time, you could just store the unique alerts that were received and send those.

Even simpler, have your tool send messages to a mailman list. Various sysadmins can be subscribed to the list in different ways. Have your work box get instant notification, but your phone gets a digest. http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg32348.html `-- In Bob We Trust, All Others Bring Data.`	[reply]
