how to stop mailing users

[Adrian Rea]

I was asked this in an email and thought I would share it.

An other question, i am changing server with my stuff, also my forum

so i want to test with the forum db, but other files
but i don't want the "test" site to mail or send messages to people

how can i prevent this?

I would recommend the easiest way to create a :blackhole: email address that automattically kills mails sent to it, eg blackole at myforum.com then in emailer.php
FIND

Code: Select all

        $this->reply_to = trim($address);

REPLACE WITH

Code: Select all

        $this->reply_to = trim('blackole at myforum.com');

I have not tested this but this is where I would start.

How about these then?

Code: Select all

    // Sets an email address to send to     function email_address($address)     {         $this->addresses['to'] = trim($address);     }       function cc($address)     {         $this->addresses['cc'][] = trim($address);     }       function bcc($address)     {         $this->addresses['bcc'][] = trim($address);     }

yes looking at it more closely you can bin every single mail with

Code: Select all

    // Sets an email address to send to     function email_address($address)     {         $this->addresses['to'] = trim('blackole at myforum.com');     }       function cc($address)     {         $this->addresses['cc'][] = trim('blackole at myforum.com');     }       function bcc($address)     {         $this->addresses['bcc'][] = trim('blackole at myforum.com');     }
