Caching Exceptions

[deeptianush]

Hi

We have a huge bank application that has a windows service scheduled to run every 30 seconds. Any crucial exceptions or errors encountered are emailed to the system adminstrator.Lets say the win service encountered an error in the system, then it keeps sending out emails every 30 seconds which amounts to thousands of emails per day the real problem arises when lets say there is another very crucial error or exception encountered and an email is sent out during this time, this crucial email is lost amongst the thousands of emails generated by the previous error. as the sysadmin cannot go over all the emails.
Could some one please tell me how to handle this problem. I plan to send out an email in case of an error the first time its encountered and after that only once every 15 minutes(so that I reduce the number of emails by a large margin). How would I have to accomplish that?

Thanks

Deep

Management. You have to implement some kind of management that keeps track of previous errors (include any info needed to distinguish one error from the other) and only notify new ones.
