Thanks to all for your replies. Some interesting stuff going on out there. A
couple of you had in mind that this was a presentation about email
notifications, it isn't - it's a small part about managing an oracle
operation badly :). The base point here being that excessive emails lead to
important things being missed. And the scope is rather wider than just
monitoring the alert.log.
