In most of the websites I develop I add something to notify me by email of any 500 errors.

However, when something goes really wrong, I can get dozens of these error emails (once I got thousands).

So I want to implement some form of flood control. I develop in ASP.NET (C#) and also have some old sites in Classic ASP, but this question is not really about a specific language.

I was thinking of simply storing the last error number and email time in an application variable and if the next error is the same error number and within a certain time frame then do not send an email.

Just wondering what other techniques people are using to accomplish this.

    I have decided to go with storing the last error details and time in an application scope variable and if the error is the same as the previous error within a specific time frame I ignore it.
