Getting database error emails despite removing email for config file

Getting database error emails despite removing email in config file.
I went into the config today, and saw that I've not ever entered an email.
How did the notification errors find me?

How do I fix this?

Thanks!

So in /includes/config.php, the variable $config['Database']['technicalemail'] = 'dbmaster@example.com'; is left empty?
Do you have PHP caching extensions enabled? Might have to restart PHP-fpm/cgi in order for the changes to take effect.

And also, if you have Queued Emails, then the email is already set for those. Do you have any Queued Emails shown on the main page of the /admincp?

No caching. It's been sending errors for months, but only recently have I been getting so many, that it's clogging my mailbox. Not worth the time to try and decode the errors.
No idea how it's getting my email.

0 Queued Emails, and the admin contact listed in the CP is not the email that all the errors are going to.

Any other ideas?
TIA

Try this: AdminCP > Settings > Options > Error Handling & Logging > Disable Database Error Email Sending > Set to "Yes".

Would also be a good idea to maybe try fixing the actual database error. :)

Easier said than done. ;-) Part of it, after substantial time with web.com techs, was that they moved the database. My bigger issue was that after I updated the PHP version, their new servers cap the database size to 300MB. Mine was 421. Now, I'm locked out until I can figure out a way to clean up my database. Optimizing through their control panel does nothing. Forum has been down since.

Are their certain tables I can simply trash?

No - and you seriously need to move to a proper host a.s.a.p.
Capping a database like that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard, sounds like a total mickey mouse outfit.

Doing that this week. Web.com is the culprit.
