If it spams you at every run it's because your output changes at every
run, I guess because of this:

If this information is not important, you can just remove it and the
problem will go away

If you want to disable mailings anyway, look at the configuration for
cf-execd and the related items in def.cf.

i want to disable mail all in one, so i added the following to def.json, but this does not help, still happy spamming.

"cfengine_internal_disable_agent_email": [ "any" ]

[Xander Cage]

it seems that the settings in def.json are not observed. added all the mail items but still mails get sent.
ist this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

Try setting body executor "mailto" attribute to empty string.

If you run cf-execd verbose and in the foreground you'll be able see how
cf-execd evals its config.

Sent to which adress? maybe the emails are not sent by cf-execd then, but by syslogd, since cf-execd is writing the errors to syslog.

[Xander Cage]

the messages are going to the local root mailbox which gets forwared to a admin group account, so nothing special. i dont think that syslog is sending, because the mails contains the cfengine headers. buth the questions is still how these useless mails can be disabled.
