When configuring scheduled tasks, you must select a "search" that returns a list of license keys based on criteria specified in the search as shown in the screenshot below.

It is recommended that all "searches" include the following statement in the SQL field:&#x20;

```sql
IncludeInMailList <> 0
```

Finally, to configure a customer to not receive email notifications, edit the customer information and uncheck the "Mail List" field.
