title: Suppress Django error reporting email

In Django, by default, when an exception raises, and is not handled, Django will send an email to people listed in `ADMINS`, [reporting](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/howto/error-reporting/#server-errors) the error. But in many setup, we already have other mechanism to track those errors (like throwing to [Sentry](https://sentry.io)), so those emails will become annoying. How to stop Django from sending those emails.

We can do it by overriding `mail_admins` log handler, to use `logging.NullHandler` as handler class, like this:

```py
LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'handlers': {
        'mail_admins': {
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'class': 'logging.NullHandler',
        }
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django.request': {
            'handlers': ['mail_admins'],
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'propagate': False,
        },
    },
}

```
