I wonder if we should rethink our strategy of sending mail when unresolvable
problems occur? An alternative might be to create a logfile with (sometimes
large) body of the mail in a relevant location, then log a one-line summary
to syslog? (and do away with all reliance on sending mail)?
In recent production environments I've worked, this'd have been a preferable
strategy in general, as it would've fitted in more neatly with the central
logging and alerting systems in use. But, YMMV, maybe other folks prefer to
get mail for this kind of thing still... not sure.
cheers.
