Hi all,

I will explain my issue.
My application sends the error emails every one minute.It has got a web service.So whenever the web service is down my application will send the emails as it checks every 1 minute.This is getting hectic on me as if the web service is down for an hour it will send me 60 emails.
I thought of sending the emails in every 10 minute only.
But there is a logical downside to it as i stand to lose any other exceptions happening in the in between time.

I thought of using a string builder and appending all the exceptions and sending it as a single email in 10 minutes.

But i thought i will look for better options by discussing with you.
So if any of guys have a better way of doing it share the idea with me.
I appreciate it.
Thanks in Advance

Why don't you just send the exceptions to a database, and create a web page that incidcates new exceptions have been logged since the user's last visit.

You could also send a notification message when a certain number of exceptions have been logged, and give the user the iopportunity to receive notifications either at certain time intervals, or at a certain count level. The important part is to let him choose how/when to receive the notifications.
