1. sending errors to the console

These are the loggers that use mail_admins by default (see django/utils/log.py):

    'django.request': {
        'handlers': ['mail_admins'],
        'level': 'ERROR',
        'propagate': False,
    },
    'django.security': {
        'handlers': ['mail_admins'],
        'level': 'ERROR',
        'propagate': False,
    },

you would need to change the handlers to go to the console so that it appears in your gunicorn log rather than send emails with mail_admins. Please note that it's not as chatty as when DEBUG=True.

 'loggers': {
    'django': {
        'level': 'ERROR',
        'handlers': ['console'],
    },
 }

2. sending errors via mail_admins

Also based on configuring logging, explicitly create a handler that calls mail_admins; e.g. based on django/utils/log.py:

 'handlers': {
    'mail_admins': {
        'level': 'ERROR',
        'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler'
    },
 },
 'loggers': {
    'django': {
        'handlers': ['mail_admins'],
    },
 }

This requires you to set email related settings.
