BlackHole for badbots emails

[haylau]

Is it possible to stop the emails about badbots?

I'm still waiting to find out what they all mean from a post from last year I think.. If there is no way to understand them I would also like to stop getting them

Of course you can disable the email. There are many ways to do this:

1. disable / uninstall module
2. edit module and comment Mail::Send command
3. delete email template
4. install conseqs module and set up rule to block this particular email
5. and more...

I personally think it's not very good idea to do this, though. You should always verify that the trap didn't catch some valid bots / users. It shouldn't be such a big deal - with properly set up robots.txt, you should catch only a few bots per month. I personally receive the email maybe once every two months
