With these numbers one should not use normal email for volatile things. At least I would recommend against it. I would use the firefox plugin to babysit such a volatile environment. But that is just me. (In fact I would not babysit such a darn thing but go in and do some serious troubleshooting with a nice submachinegun. ;) You could always setup something like mailman and let it do the digests for you. Or send them to a dummy email box, parse them with procmail and use a nice parser to process the procmail log to make your digest for you.
