At compile time we can't know if debugging symbols will be available
later, as they are installable anytime from the -dbgsym packages.

What would be possible is to adapt the script "btraceback" to not send
the email if so requested by some mechanism. I don't think embedding a
parser for the configuration file in the script would make sense, it
would need to be something simple like checking the existence of a file
"/etc/bacula/no_tracebacks_please".


I'm curious though to understand your motivation for not wanting the
emails, would you care to explain?

Best regards,
