Is it possible to exempt a user from the "Notify Every Site User On New Posts" setting?

Is there some "opt out" flag to exempt one or more users from the setting that generally applies to all, so we can have that setting on but deliberately leave a few users out from the notifications?
Unfortunately that was not possible to configure this from backend, but you can modify on this file :

JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/post/post.php



// LINE 6660

		$ignored = array($author->user->email);



// replace with for example i want to exclude : example@gmail.com, example1@gmail.com

		$ignored = array($author->user->email, 'example@gmail.com', 'example1@gmail.com');


You can refer on my attached screenshot below if that LINE i provided is not match with your current file code.

Thank you, that makes sense!

Can you help similarly for comments? How to opt out a user from getting notified for all comments?

You're welcome.

Do you mean if someone comment on one of your existing blog post, the system will send out this new comment email notification to your existing site member?

If yes, you can disable this from backend > Easyblog > setting > notification > comments > Notify all users on new comments - NO

Yes, but similar to the previous question we don't want to disable the setting, we just want to exempt a couple of users.

Where could we use similar code to do that?
