How to block mails sent using rmail
Hi,
I have a bunch of cron jobs which sends e-mails to many set of users. My scripts invoked by cron jobs use "rmail" for this. I have to make a test run of the cron jobs and I don't want the users to get mail during my test run. I cannot got to each script and modify rmail as I have lots of scripts. Is there any way to temporarily block "rmail" from sending mails?
Or is there anyway to block mail being sent out from a particular id?
Please throw some light on this.
TIA
Vijay

atq(1) User Commands atq(1)
NAME
atq - display the jobs queued to run at specified times
SYNOPSIS
atq [-c] [-n] [username...]
DESCRIPTION
The atq utility displays the at jobs queued up for the current user. at(1) is a utility that allows users to execute commands at a later
date. If invoked by a user with the solaris.jobs.admin authorization, atq will display all jobs in the queue.
If no options are given, the jobs are displayed in chronological order of execution.
When an authorized user invokes atq without specifying username, the entire queue is displayed; when a username is specified, only those
jobs belonging to the named user are displayed.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-c Displays the queued jobs in the order they were created (that is, the time that the at command was given).
-n Displays only the total number of jobs currently in the queue.
FILES
/var/spool/cron/atjobs spool area for at jobs.
