BTW, I am not able to evaluate the effort,
but if it were huge you should take into consideration that on Windows 
environment you can easily drop emails into a folder using this free mail 
server tool:

I used it with Sun IDM several times and it works perfectly.
I haven't found something similar for unix environment yet, but it might exist 
if we google a bit more.

I guess that here one can play with postfix (for example) and configure to deliver every e-mail locally, to a single mailbox.

So, is it worth the effort??  :)

Only for redirecting e-mail notifications to a file? Probably No.

If instead we want to extend the whole approach to notification delivery, we can think to define an interface (say "Notifier") and move the current SMTP-based implementation from NotificationJob to a new "SMTPNotifier" class; this would allow to define other "FileNotifier", "JMSNotifier", "SMSNotifier" (and so on) implementations - even for a single deployment, as already happening for many other features. At this point we will also need to modify the current Notification and NotificationTask objects by adding the possibility to choose which notifier will be triggered.

This worth the effort, in my opinion.
But it's not a trivial change, so if we like this feature I'd suggest to put somewhere in the still-to-be-defined roadmap.

Regards.

WDYT?
Hi Marco,
I agree with you. I do think that this feature is really useful.
