Hi - I want to test authentication setups in DNN and would like to override all sending of email so that I get the emails rather than the email address of the registered user. Is this easy? What would I need to look at to make sure I could use a test email override on a per session basis? Other testers would want their email to be used of course, so this isn't a web.config thing. - Neil

Thanks for the brainstorm. I am working on this and it is now getting critical so I hope to have an approach in the next week.

The need as I see it is to set this up for a browser session so as not to affect any other users of the site. I think this needs to be available on the live system also for future testing by the client when they change email forms etc. A secondary need would be to make sure that as a tester I don't forget to flick the switch - whatever that turns out to be - to divert emails:-)

My favourite approach would be that I could create an role Tester - or designate Admin as a permanent testing role - and set up a session scoped cookie to override all outging emails with the tester's address. This would mean logging in as a Tester role member, or adding oneself to the Tester role,  first before switching to other accounts. This means some changes to the core email module though, which, although fairly easy, means a customized install:-(

Anyone, please comment on this approach or other ideas?
