Mailcontrol

Have full control over the default mails sent by Drupal 7 out of the box.

Description

This small module extends original Drupal 7 account settings page with the ability to globally turn ON/OFF all standard mails.
By default Drupal 7 provides no option to globally disable the following mails:

• Welcome (new user created by administrator)
• Welcome (awaiting approval)
• Welcome (no approval required)
• Password recovery

Use cases

This module may come in handy when:

• you don't want to send those emails for some reason
• or you are sending them through some other means
• or to get rid of the PHP Mail error message when you’re working on localhost
• or other development purposes

How to use

1. download the module and place it under 'sites/all/modules/contrib' folder
   • with Drush use: drush dl mailcontrol
2. enable the module from the modules page: 'admin/build/modules'
   • with Drush use: drush en mailcontrol -y
3. configure the setting at the bottom of the page under
   'admin/config/people/accounts'

Versions

Drupal 7

This module provide only interface modifications.
The underlying functionality is already there by default in Drupal 7.

Drupal 8

There are discussions to have the ability to turn on welcome emails in D8 core.
See this issue for more details: #901518: Option to disable welcome emails and messages
If so, this module could continue in D8 to provide the ability to turn off
Account cancellation confirmation and Password recovery emails, I suppose, mainly for development purposes, if needed.
