Suppression of SMTP mail

1 Description

Every ILIAS user can select in the Personal Profile whether ILIAS-internal e-mails are (also) forwarded to the e-mail address stated in his/her user account. This also affects automatically generated system messages occuring, among others, in the framework of the members' administration in courses and groups.

In case an ILIAS installation is tested but original user data are already engaged, it is not intended that those respective users actually are notified, even if this might be selected in the users' profiles.

This mail forwarding can be suppressed by the ini setting ilias_enable_smtp_mails="0" for an installation or a client. Thus, no mails at all are sent.

JF 5 Oct 2009: We appreciate this feature. Fred can commit this to the trunk after the 4.0.x branch has been created.

Björn Heyser / Databay AG 17 May 2010: A nice extension to this feature could be an alternative email address that overrides the original recipients whereas the original recepients are added to the emails subject. With such a mechanismus the testing of notifications could be done in a very easy way.
