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
