BB does not provide this functionality internally. Warning conditions
are intended to do just that, provide information about potential
problems before any "damage" is done. For most applications, those
who are responsible for clearing up the mess will also benefit from
the warning.

That said, the "recommended" way to achieve what you want is to
use custom paging scripts. There are sample scripts in the ext/pg
directory, which should give you a starting point.

Another option, if you're using e-mail for paging, would be to
filter out unwanted messages using the e-mail server software.
I'd expect that to be more difficult and less satisfactory
however.

Cheers, Phil.
