I was thinking the same thing! Any logging tool will help take the errors and group them or some kind of housekeeping to help vs 200 emails slamming an inbox.

In my "my_operatornotify" file, which isn't published, I did test a batching mechanism that used a background thread to wait 60 seconds before sending the email, in case more with the same subject line came along. It worked but I decided to stop using it. Most of my programs send their complete logs after they finish, only the long-running daemon programs send individual warning emails right away. I got a laugh out of the YCDL explosion and fixed the issue, for now anyway.

Thanks for the comments!
