I'm configuring CentOS 6.2 and have seen a few "[abrt] full crash report" emails. I understand that abrt is useful for creating crash dumps and what not, so I don't want to disable the service, I just would like to stop getting the crash report emails.

I probably have to add something to the config file in /etc/abrt/abrt.conf. I can't seem to find anything in my searches. Any idea? Thanks.

Edit:

Here is my abrt.conf, which is rather simple.

[root@myhost~]# cat /etc/abrt/abrt.conf
# Enable this if you want abrtd to auto-unpack crashdump tarballs which appear
# in this directory (for example, uploaded via ftp, scp etc).
# Note: you must ensure that whatever directory you specify here exists
# and is writable for abrtd. abrtd will not create it automatically.
#
#WatchCrashdumpArchiveDir = /var/spool/abrt-upload

# Max size for crash storage [MiB] or 0 for unlimited
#
MaxCrashReportsSize = 1000

# Specify where you want to store coredumps and all files which are needed for
# reporting. (default:/var/spool/abrt)
#
#DumpLocation = /var/spool/abrt

And a listing of /etc/abrt:

[root@myhost~]# ls -la /etc/abrt
total 32
drwxr-xr-x.  3 root root  4096 Apr 13 06:14 .
drwxr-xr-x. 97 root root 12288 Apr 13 03:50 ..
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root   527 Dec 13 22:50 abrt-action-save-package-data.conf
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root   572 Dec 13 22:50 abrt.conf
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root   175 Dec 13 22:50 gpg_keys
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root  4096 Apr 13 06:13 plugins

[root@myhost~]# ls -la /etc/abrt/plugins/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Apr 13 06:13 .
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Apr 13 06:14 ..
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  278 Dec 13 22:50 CCpp.conf

Actually all of those conf files above are only a few lines and do not mention anything about mail, email, or notifications.
