We are going to be doing some custom workflow development in a non production
environment. There is a lot of data that is needed to test our solution. So
we have restored all of the content from production, back to the non
production environment.

One of the main pieces that needs to be tested in the workflow solution is
email notifications. So we definitely need to have email setup in this
environment.

But how do we disable all of other email items in this environment? For
example, we don’t want alerts, dead-web deletions, quota notices, mysite
deletions, etc to go out.

Does anyone have a method for deleting all of these in non production
environments? I have seen powershell scripts to clean up alerts, but what
about other things that get sent out?

Thanks in advance.
