How do I stop receiving ‘new user registration’ emails?

How do I stop receiving ‘new user registration’ emails? I don’t want to receive them anymore, but I can’t find anything in the Options to disable them.

You’d have to change a core file to do that but why not just use a junk email box address for the General->Options E-mail address:?
Isn’t that email address used for viable reasons, too, such as contacting the administrator? Or is that for the admimnistrator’s email address?
Not too sure what ‘contacting the admininstrator’ is 😉
Seriously, I thought that the only time that email address was used was when someone registered.
Maybe that’s not correct…
“This address is used only for admin purposes.”
I don’t know, maybe you are right.
I understood it like this:
While the field description in admin says “This address is used only for admin purposes”, that also includes comment approval, see “duscussion options” in admin.
I believe you’ll have to hack the core code.
I would also like to do this. Was surprised there is no such option in a 1.5 product, much less a 2.0 product. 🙁
Luckly I just found this. 🙂

So remove lines 83 – 87, that is this:
$message = sprintf(__(‘New user registration on your blog %s:’), get_settings(‘blogname’)) . “\r\n\r\n”;
$message .= sprintf(__(‘Username: %s’), $user_login) . “\r\n\r\n”;
$message .= sprintf(__(‘E-mail: %s’), $user_email) . “\r\n”;@wp_mail(get_settings(‘admin_email’), sprintf(__(‘[%s] New User Registration’), get_settings(‘blogname’)), $message);
which file is this? i’m using ver 2.0, thanks
The easier solution is putting a Filter on your email. Almost every email program lets you filter incoming mail by a word in the subject line. How about making a filter so all email with the word “Registration” in the headline, gets sent to your trash folder?
By the way I am curious: how many Users do you have registering?
my problem is that i have several users as authors, and the email not only goes out to me (the admin), but the other authors as well.
i don’t have many users registering – like 10 so far, but I’d rather not have the email going to the authors as well.
New User Registrations are not normally sent to Author-level users.
Normally Authors only receive an email when someone Comments on a post published by that author.
hmmm…any possible reason for this? something obvious that i’ve missed?
aop1980 maybe make a new thread for your problem since it’s a little different than the 1st poster’s question. If yours is actually sending New User Registration emails to mere Authors (non-Administrators) on your site, that is odd.
To expand on war59312’s post, the file in question is pluggable-functions.php in wp-includes. I’ve just commented out the line starting @wp_mail in the function wp_new_user_notification.
For those who are suggesting using a junk e-mail or a filter, I don’t think this is what Gary is after as it would affect all admin notifications. It’s just the new user ones that are the issue.
I have set up a new blog at http://www.va-announcements.com. I want to allow multiple users to register and post their own announcements however I cannot work out a number of things:
1. I am not getting any notification when someone new registers.
2. I’d like to have the choice of approving a new registered user before they’re allowed to post.Is it possible to do both above? I’ve been searching through the forum but haven’t yet found the answer to these two questions. I do know how to change their settings and am choosing author level once they’re actually registered – but I have to know first that they have.
I’m using WordPress 2.0.4.
