66839 - There is no way to tell Bugzilla to stop sending ANY e-mail to you.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 17464

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

[Jason Eager]

A few situations where this capability would be helpful:

1) If you go on a long vacation and are involved with many bugs, your e-mail box
might get filled up by all the bugzilla notifications.

2) A bunch of people who have filed bugs but now do not wish to be involved with
the Mozilla project anymore are now claiming that they are getting spammed by
Bugzilla.
These people are reporters of bugs, and therefore can't just drop their name off
the cc list.

For political reasons, I suggest adding a quick hack that would redirect all of
their e-mails to [e-mail] while we work on adding the real fix.

I don't see this option listed in any of the bug reports that I've seen about
changing mailing
options, and I think this should stand alone from the normal e-mail preferences.
Maybe we
don't allow people to add comments to their bugs, etc, when this option is set,
so this would
be more like a "Put this account into hibernation" option?

See bug 17464.  With the new notification scheme, I believe it is possible to 
disable all mail by unchecking all the boxes.  This is already checked in, but is 
partially broken at the moment.  Give that a look over, and if that'll solve this 
for you, either make this one a duplicate of that or resolve this one as 
worksforme.
