email notice floods

On the rare occasion when the Nagios server needs to be rebooted, when 
it comes back up, it detects that all of the hosts and services are 
down and sends hundreds of email alerts to my email account and my 
phone. And once it detects they are all back up, it sends hundreds of 
"up" notices! Besides being quite annoying, it's also pretty costly 
considering my cell phone company charges $.05 for each received 
message. Does anyone have a recommendation for how I can avoid this? 
Thank you.
