Docs should clearly explain the "error message e-mails" feature
Yes, I'm marking this as a high-priority bug, because it's serious. I like the error message e-mails. It can be a lifesaver. However, in high-traffic websites, a simple error message can lead to hundreds (even thousands) of e-mails sent to the admins. That can easily lead to the inclusion of the provider in spam-blocking lists (and many angry coleagues and customers yelling at you).
The worst thing is, it's not clear that you can *NOT* turn such feature off. So, the docs should make things clear.
