Just realized that our staging environment is sending out emails to customers, which is not good.

How can I limit the emails to developers only? Ideally I would like to:

  • provide a list of allowed emails
  • provide a default email to which all emails not in "allowed" list would be routed to

Already did a google search and didn't come up with anything useful.

  • I think database cleanup would help you out if that is okay to you.. Remove all the live customers data from staging environment.

  • That is an idea, but since we do regularly re-create staging from live, would prefer an extension which I can config it based on our needs.

We can't limit the emails like you asked. But we can disable the Email functionality itself in the Staging or DEV environment by following the below steps.

Step 1: Go to Stores -> Settings -> Configuration -> System -> Advanced.

Step 2: Set Mail Sending Settings to Yes to disable the Email functionality.

Mailtrap is also an option. So the actual users will not receive the mails But we can review them.

  • Thank you for the tip. I no longer work with Magento, but I am sure someone else will find your answer useful. But do note that back in the day, I reverted into cleaning the database for staging and then adding fake users. Today, I would look into sending emails to Mailtrap or related service. I am sure that someone already coded extension for this.
