Analytics sends out useless emails after site upgrade from 3.6 to 3.7?

I just upgraded our test site from 3.6.3 to 3.7.1.

Our test server is configured to divert all mails, after the update a mail to around 600 users was sent.

The mails are all empty and only consist of 4 buttons:

I do not want my users to get useless mails when i update the prod site. If I understand correctly, these junk mail are sent by analytics.

So an upgrade to 3.7 just introduces a new option in analytics without notification, that I cannot disable easily and results in useless junk mail? Who thought this was a good idea?

Since there is no option to turn off analytics in admin settings (again, who thought this was a good idea?), I will now have to manually delete this unwanted module each time I upgrade Moodle?

Hello Stefan,

You can disable the notification emails either by disabling the 'Upcoming activities due' model in Site administration / Analytics / Analytics models or by un-setting the capability moodle/analytics:listowninsights for the authenticated user role.

A number of analytics UX improvements are planned for 3.8, including improving the upcoming activities due notification email (MDL-66090).
