How to configure email notification to not email the originator of the change?

[Martin Freeman]

In other issue tracking systems I've used even if I am on the notification list I can choose to not get email notifications related to changes I've made myself, only notification of changes made by other people. How do I select this configuration in Jira?

For example if I am the default assignee for a product or component and I have cause to comment on half a dozen new issues that have been raised, there is no need for my inbox to be hammered with notifications to inform me that I've just made a comment, since I obviously already know that!

You can go to your profile and uncheck 'Notify for own changes' box. You might want to set it system wide as well which you can do under Administration > User Defaults.
