Is there a way to control which emails are sent?

[Ozkovacs]

Hi.
I'd like to know if there is a way to control which emails are sent.
For example, I would prefer not receiving emails about "nothing to update", or when updates are completed.
Since I run the updates manually, I do know when they are completed.
With all the emails we receive every day, cutting down a small number of them is already a plus for me 😄

Thanks!

Hi @Ozkovacs,
with v4.5.2 you had some options;

To disable the "nothing to update" - you can set "EMAIL_NO_UPDATES" to false, or comment out.
You could also edit the crontab entry like you want - so, the checks will only run once a day/week, ...

The info after run is not possible to disable for now, but would build it in with the next update if you want ;)
I made it for my huge cluster, so I had a message, after finish, without sit biside all the time :)

On other side you could disable all emails, if you set "EMAIL_USER" to something like "foobar" - a user who does not exist.
But there is a little bug in script. I missed 2 user settings :( is fixed in latest develop version

OK Thank you for the prompt response.
I did find the option "EMAIL_NO_UPDATES" after posting my question.
I might go the option of putting a fake email. At this point, I'm doing checks regularely anyway...
Worst comes to worst, I'll put myself a reminder to check weekly :D

Thanks a lot for your support!

I'd really like an option that only informs me of security updates and is silent on everything else 🙏
