I remember in my very first and very simplest DBA job ( a lonnnnnnng time back) I had to send out a morning email basically saying, "All backups fine, all jobs ran ok etc", over time various managers would request to be taken off the CC list and only notified if something was indeed wrong.
Heh... I'm on a few mailing lists for stuff like that, I have a rule in outlook that sends them straight to my junk mail folder. I get real alerts for actual problems.
