XF 2.2 Turn board off/set inactive - does this disable all emails? Does it pause them and send them after setting the board active/on?

It would be useful to have more help text on this page to understand the full impact of this feature.

My use case is that I'm creating a new server from a snapshot of my current server to test other apps/sites that are running on the server. My forum emails are sent via Amazon SES SMTP and I'm concerned that the test server will be sending out duplicate emails. So I'm thinking that setting the board inactive prior to creating the snapshot would prevent this.

I'm thinking about emails such as "Activity summary email" or "What's new digest".

Putting this in your /src/config.php $config['enableMail'] = false; will stop any email from the snapshot.

Thanks! Setting the board inactive is a little easier to remember. Do you know if it does not stop email?

If it doesn't, I think I'll submit a feature request that it does.

I don't know but I did provide a solution.

Good luck with that
