I do have that option enabled, and the problem with that is I get lots
of emails every day, so I keep those emails from the JSS in my spam
filter and go in and clean them out every once in a while but I will get
100s of emails per a week with that.

Tom,

I think this is a great feature request.  I agree that with an  
environment of your size and scope, it can be quite a chore to have to  
sift through all policy logs to find errors.

Meanwhile, you can use the "Send email on policy execution error"  
notification so that when a policy error does occur, you can at least  
narrow it down a bit more by determining which ones erred out via  
sifting through an email inbox.

Thanks for the input and I will file this with development.
