I worked on an app that sent an internal email with stack trace whenever an unhandled exception occurred. Worked great until the day when there was an OOM in a tight loop on a box in Asia that sent a few hundred emails per second and saturated the company WAN backbone and mailboxes of the whole team. Good times.
