Note that the man page explaination of NORMAL includes the sentence
'These output are in the "FAILED DUMP DETAILS" section of the email
report if the dump result is STRANGE'.
In this case, the "Operation not supported" message is considered
STRANGE... which in turn causes all the NORMAL message lines to be
included in the report output as well.
So presumably once you resolve all of those error messages for a
particular DLE, that DLE will no show up with a STRANGE DUMP DETAILS
section at all, in which case those NORMAL-category messages will no
longer be included in the report.
(You could prevent those messages from ever showing up in the report by
setting them to IGNORE in the config file, but in general I'd say trying
to fix the underlying cause of a STRANGE status is preferable to
suppressing messages completely....)
Does that explain the behavor you were seeing?
