Hi all,

I'm looking for suggestions for the best way to prevent our customers
getting extraneous, worrying test emails. Particular the usual ones
developers and testers create that say "blablabla, test, blablabla, is this
going to go, will they get it, I've reached the end of the line"

We are in the process of setting up 3 CRM installations attached to our
Exchange server.

Each CRM will start as a copy of our live data so they will have real email
addresses included and obviously our first task will be to change those email
addresses to be something internal for testing and to prevent us causing any
diplomatic incidences with our 8,000 customers.

I've got a few ideas on how to do this but was thinking someone must have
tried it already so I'd see what you all thought.

Cheers.

I think I would use SQL and update all the contact's e-mail addresses to be
either a non-existant e-mail address or a specific e-mail address that you
create to receive these test e-mails.
