Selectively blocking Django error e-mails

Is there a simple way to keep Django from sending error E-mails for certain views or URLs?

I noticed today, that there are some errors that happen on our login view. And since Django includes POST data in these E-mails, it's E-mailing cleartext passwords. This is obviously not ideal and I'd rather not have to kill the whole system to prevent this.

Django allows you to either specify sensitive variables to omit from the traceback on a per-view basis, or write your own filtering logic and tie that in for all email notifications. I think that was first added in 1.4. The docs have good examples:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/error-reporting/#sensitive_variables

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/error-reporting/#custom-error-reports

Django does not provide a way to filter email on a per-view or per-URL basis.

There are two common ways to deal with this situation:

  1. Fix the condition causing the error
  2. Filter the email on the receiving end
