It seems like you might want to filter more than just OpenSSL.SSL.Error ;).

very likely ;), but I guess I can wait until some harmless annoyance trigger like in this case.

The number of emails the server sends me has a maximum of 10, to avoid getting the same exception too many times (and the max number of sms is 1). So even something goes wrong and I'm on vacation I don't risk to fill the inbox ;)

Rather than a simple counter, why not hash tracebacks so they are not sent more than once? For example:

This tends to work poorly for most tracebacks. As soon as you have one that contains an object with a default repr, the ID section makes each hash different. When I did this, I settled on hashing just the qual of the exception class and the brief string (failure.getErrorMessage()) version of it. This has a similar problem, but seems to work ok in practice. Jp
