To follow up on the question of coalescing emails, it looks like it should be possible to write a daily job which gathers up all of the job statuses and sends an email.

This forum thread suggests a way in which it could be written using Groovy: http://jenkins-ci.361315.n4.nabble.com/generating-a-daily-weekly-report-on-job-status-by-mail-td3766477.html

1) you’re a maintainer, so you’re automatically subscribed. There isn’t any more granularity to the email settings than that.
2) There aren’t any settings for this that I’m aware of, but there may be an alternate jenkins notification plugin that can do this. It’s probably worth looking into.
3) yeah… I really can’t help you here

Not a real solution, but I filter the emails that I get from jenkins into a separate tag/folder in my email client, so that I can put off looking at them until later.

So I'd like to start a hopefully constructive discussion of the build
farm's email practices. I've attached a picture of the onslaught my
inbox just received. I'm fairly certain none of the builds failing is
my fault. But it does lead me to some questions.

1) Are there settings for email that I haven't set to reduce the
number of emails I get? Or am I automatically subscribed because I'm a
maintainer?
2) Is there a way to condense the emails? If I got a single email
telling me which packages I maintain failed to build, but this seems a
bit much.
3) I've whined about this before, but is there some way we can make
the error messages more legible? I'm sure for people familiar with the
build farm, the errors may make sense, but as a maintainer, I have no
idea what I'm supposed to do. If the answer is nothing, why am I
getting email?

I realize accomplishing some of these tasks will likely involve
substantial amounts of work, but I feel it merits discussion
nonetheless.
