Are the e-mails sent to users on the same VM system? If so, the automation may be contributing to SPOOL utilization. Sort of as a publication index containing: Loop -- see "Loop".
In that case send the e-mails off-platform to keep from adding to SPOOL woes.

For Critical & Warning emails are sent. I run this check every 15 minutes but I'm afraid with a runaway process, email recipients and Operators won't see the message in time. So maybe it's time to look at an automation package. I have already received two ideas for packages.

It monitored spool utilization, including rate of change of spool utilization. I think at each snapshot interval, and I don't remember what interval the code used, it did a "SPOOLCHN ALL (HIGH 10", saving the output for the next interval so that if there was a sudden increase in spool utilization, it could, probably, pinpoint the user accumulating the increase. I don't have the code anymore, but it would be a SMOP (simple matter of programming) to put it together.
