You could also hook_mail_alter to change $message['to'] where the server name (or host name, but I use `uname -n` instead) does not match your production. I recommend this over reroute_mail especially if you have a custom utilities.module or similar that you already use on the production site. You fix it once and forget it.<div>

You can disable various email notifications under admin/config/people/accounts. On your development box, you might want to use the reroute email module (<a href="http://drupal.org/project/reroute_email" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/project/reroute_email</a>)<div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Is there a way to turn off sending of e-mail when updating user accounts. My understanding is that e-mails are sent when an account changes from inactivate to active. Love the functionality but testing with real data makes this inconvenient. On my development box I have turned off the MTA but this could easily be forgotten in future testing.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br><font color="#888888">
