Install the email engine. When you configure the email outbox (AR System Email Configuration form) there is a status field. You can set it to enable or disabled. Emails do not get sent but will queue up in the AR System Email messages form. Excellent way to see notifications that should be firing without them actually spamming your end users.
If you actually do enable the outgoing mailbox, be sure to delete all entries in the AR System Email Messages form, otherwise all the queued messages will be sent.

Hi Everyone, We have a test server (ARS 7.01 patch 1, Red-Hat Linux). We want to know when this system WOULD send out email if it were a live system, but we don't want it to actually do it. So we haven't installed the Email Engine because we don't want it sending out test messages to customers. According to the Email Engine manual, the "Notify" action of a filter or escalation creates an "Arsystem Email Messages" entry, which the Email Engine reads. In our test system filters do notifications, and the filter log shows an email being sent, but no Arsystem Email Messages entry gets created. Does the creation of this entry depend on the existence of an Email Engine, or is something else at work? The larger question is, How can we set up a test system so that we can monitor the sending of emails, without them actually going to people?
