Thanks for your submission! > Fix edgetrigger alerts as discussed in: > https://github.com/oetiker/SmokePing/issues/183 It seems to me that some folks reported in this issue being able to stop the influx of emails by chaning the "format" option where edgetrigger is set. Did you try applying this solution? I'm mostly hesitant to apply a patch on the software itself and diverge from upstream if upstream doesn't seem to be willing to apply the same patch (or -- another case -- if the patch is not useful solely for making packaging possible but would not be accepted upstream). If the change of "format" doesn't work for you, maybe then I can help you in applying some pressure upstream to merge that patch in. But for this we'd need to have a clearly defined case where the solution/workaround proposed by Tobias doesn't fix the issue. Cheers!
