Has anyone heard of a way to throttle emails out if the conditions cause a storm of alerts, in a global way on the server? I have run into situations (okay, caused is a better word) where thousands of emails go out due to the wording of the alert. My Exchange god can block them eventually, but is there a way for the NPM software or the server to catch the situation and stop itself, similar to the way that an snmp trap alert can be told to pause for so many minutes after seeing a certain number of traps?
