is there a java_opts where i can disable sending out emails?

148 Views Asked by At

I have some cron jobs that sends out emails in production, is there such an option to prevent sending out email in testing?

Right now I'm hoping to find such an java_opt option or re implement lots of email functions...

No. Best would be to mock the email service. So that you can test that an email has been handed over to the service without actually sending it.

Or implement a dummyservice (assuming you have programmed your email service against an interface) and use that for testing.

DevNullSMTPServer will simulate a local SMTP server and log the outgoing emails rather than send them.
