Excessive popups

[Sniff]

For the second time in a week, a temporary interruption in my internet connection has caused over 1000 pop-up messages to flood my screen (in under 3 minutes). It is impossible to close all the windows in any reasonable amount of time and I can't do anything in Ninjatrader (or Trader Workstation) until all of the windows have been closed. When this happened last week, it was 10 minutes to close and I couldn't exit my position before market close, so please understand that this seemingly small inconvenience has very real consequences.

Add to this, I have a very bad repetitive strain injury in my hands, so it is extremely painful (and time consuming) to have to close over 1000 windows just to be able to trade.

The messages all the windows were displaying are the following:

Mail queue overflow. One or more mails have been dropped.
HMDS data farm connection is broken:ilhmds HDMSDataFarmConnectionBroken
Unable to subscribe to market data: Please assign an additional exchange to this instrument in the Instrument Manager TOT Default
Unable to subscribe to market data: Please assign an additional exchange to this instrument in the Instrument Manager CDXS Default
IB: Primary connection=ConnectionLost
Failed to send mail: System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Failure sending mail. ---> System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: net_io_connectionclosed.

What can be done to prevent this happening in the future?
