You could rip that plugin apart and have it log it instead of email it. Or you could have it send the email to an address that resides on the server itself, then use something else (procmail?) to send a short and sweet message to notify you to go look at it....

There's also hoptoad_notifier. There's an online component to it. I have no idea if you can have it deliver the messages (it's over http) to an internal server or not... I haven't seen any others that are "local/internal"...
