So how about the engine inspects the response ... and decides based on
a  header
what to do with it (email, log or both)...

X-Job-Response-Transport: email, log

Should the other two options also be decided via headers?

X-Job-Response-Content: status, headers, body

X-Job-Response-LogByStatus: yes

(Of course there will be fallbacks for each option)

or just try to act smartly like suggested below?
