i have also started receiving email notifications from apt-listbugs and am +1'ing the suggestion for a knob to turn off all emails.
in my case it seems related to an Acquire::http::Proxy setting. * when waking from sleep in a location where the apt-proxy is reachable, about 1/2 the time (from a small sample size of 1 laptop over a few days) it apparently tries to run before the network is available and emails "E: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known [...]" (perhaps related to #964438). * when in a location where the apt-proxy is not reachable, i receive emails every so often re: "E: Connection refused - Connection refused". while a valid complaint this is a known issue that i don't need to hear about and would like to be able to turn off. i am uncertain why these emails seems to have just started in the past few days. afaik the only possibly relevant change i made was to update Acquire::http::Proxy to a fqdn. please let me know if you would prefer a new bug report as this may be only tangentially related to this particular bug (while solution of an "off switch" is the same). thanks in advance. andy -- andy <and...@diatribes.org> diatribes
