Actually no. Only one password email can be sent every 24 hours. This is how the current MediaWiki works, so this would work well.
The problem is that if this was done, then a malicious user could trigger account suspension for all administrators on a wiki, which would interrupt important actions such as blocking vandals and other undesirable editors, deleting pages and images, and disrupt the overall administrative infrastructure.
This might not be such an issue on large wikis, such as the English Wikipedia, which has upwards of 900 administrators, but consider the smaller wikis with fewer active administrators.

Add a check for the admins IP address from checkuser and if the address is different send a new email.
