I have something that has a similar behavior;

For a build on a certain revision, it only sends the email once if:
- there's a blamelist and a revision
- the slave is still connected
- no other build failed for the same revision
- the build[-1] didn't fail on this builder
- the slave and build step was whitelisted
- tree is open (you don't care about that)

The code is there;
http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/tools/build/scripts/master/gatekeeper.py?view=markup

It's not usable as-is for you but you should be able to extract the
interesting code and inherit from mail.MailNotifier and instantiate this new
class instead of MailNotifier in your master.cfg. Note
that chromium_notifier.ChromiumNotifier is just a wrapper around
MailNotifier, you'll find the source code just beside gatekeeper.py.
