Forum OpenACS Q&A: Debugging suggestion: update users

Setup:

If you have a dev computer running from data from db dumps from a
production computer,

and you want to debug a program like the ticket tracker that sends out
lots of email alerts

You can just add an x to the end of all the email addresses with a
single update statement. This will make them all invalid, so they'll
bounce back to you.

I know, simple idea. I don't know why I didn't do it earlier. Just
thought I'd share the revelation. We have a small company, and I used
to manually edit the email addresses. I even thought of writing a
wrapper for the ns_sendmail script. But this is much easier.
