    through the filter. Handling of that record will not proceed if the callback
    returns False.
 
+   For instance, to filter out :class:`~django.http.UnreadablePostError`
+   (raised when a user cancels an upload) from the admin emails, you would
+   create a filter function::
+
+    from django.http import UnreadablePostError
+
+    def skip_unreadable_post(record):
+        if record.exc_info:
+            exc_type, exc_value = record.exc_info[:2]
+            if isinstance(exc_value, UnreadablePostError):
+                return False
+        return True
+
+   and then add it to your logging config::
+
+        'filters': {
+            'skip_unreadable_posts': {
+                '()': 'django.utils.log.CallbackFilter',
+                'callback': skip_unreadable_post,
+            }
+        },

+                'level': 'ERROR',
+                'filters': ['skip_unreadable_posts'],
+                'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler'
