Suggestions to prevent e-mail escapes during testing
Pausing messages does not remove them from the e-mail queue. The following are suggestions of preventive measures during testing of the e-mail queue to reduce the chance of inadvertently sending e-mails to recipients.
-
Change the e-mail addresses to (for example, an internal or nonexistent address that conforms to proper e-mail syntax).
-
Change your e-mail configuration to an invalid setup to force the e-mails into a Failed state. This allows them to be purged.
-
Access the database and delete all records from the following locations:
EmailMessageContent, EMailMessageAttachment and EMailMessageQueue.
Note:
Any of these activities will need to be repeated as new messages are added to the queue during processing.
