After deactivating plugin? Will it send out old emails?

    Hi,

    I would like to be 100% sure that emails are disabled on a development site with real user data. At the same time I would install an email log, to be able to see which emails would be sent (but of course won’t be because of your activated plugin).

    Question:
    Will this scenario work?

    What if I deactivate the plugin? Could it happen that there is an email queue and suddenly it sends out all emails?

    Thanks

    Markus

    G’day Markus,

    This plugin doesn’t queue up any emails, it just pretends that they were sent so that the code sending the emails is happy and keeps moving along. Nothing is stored. This plugin uses a mock implementation of PHPMailer that replaces the email send function with a stub that does nothing.

    I do recommend that you install an email logger, to see what would have been sent — I do that on all my development and test websites.

    If you install a plugin that ensures email delivery, however, like an SMTP plugin, you might end up sending emails. I recommend that you don’t do that on a development website ??

    cheers,
    Ross
