Re: [Ddclient-support] -{no}quiet send email

[Kyle J. M. <ma...@gm...>]

I also wanted notifications, but only for failures to connect to the  
IP checking website and anytime the IP address was updated (either a  
forced no-change 25 day update or an actual change).

So I'm running with the patch you can find here:

   https://gist.github.com/mackyle/e11f34a92b53b07c8caf

And then in my ddclient.conf I do NOT set the "mail" variable, but I  
DO set the mail-failure variable and I get the updates I want without  
the endless other emails that I do not.
