How do I cause Jenkins server to send custom message even on successful build

I run a job on Jenkins server(version 1.624, Win7), which is basically a Python Script. I test some variables on the script and if they don't fall in a range, I exit python with error code and Jenkins fails the build job, and returns last few lines of the Python execution (where I print the error) as a log that is sent to users an email chain.

On successful build, nothing is sent to the user.

Say, in python, I also compare current variables with the ones that were run week before, and if they change considerably, that could be due to a wrong computation(error) or valid reason like change of data. In such case, I want that Jenkins does not fail the build, but sends a custom warning to users in email chain.

Is this possible? Do I need to add a package to Jenkins to accomplish this?

I also don't want a situation where every successful build (and comparison of old and new Python variables fall within a range acceptable) sends email to the users as that would be annoying.
Thanks

It is possible, for example you can mark your build as unstable, as described here.

For custom emails, use Email-ext plugin.
