Tim Donohue commented on DS-391:
--------------------------------
Stuart,
I don't think that the 'mail.server.disabled' configuration helps much in this
special case as it requires you to restart Tomcat.
Think of a scenario where you are asked to bulk load 200+ items into a single
Collection (with an approval workflow) on your Production Server. You likely
wouldn't want to restart Tomcat (and thus temporarily take down the site) in
order to turn off the mail server before doing that bulk load.
In addiition, now that I think about it, you might not want to disable *all*
notifications either...cause if someone was submitting a new item into another
collection, you'd want to get that email notification. But, it's not as
important to see individual notifications for every item in a bulk ingest
(which has to be performed behind the scenes in a controlled environment
anyways).

> Project: DSpace 1.x
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: DSpace API
> Reporter: Tim Donohue
> Priority: Minor
>
> This feature request came up during a DSpace Developer meeting (on Nov 25
> 2009).
> When batch loading a large amount of content into DSpace to a Collection with
> a workflow approval process, the reviewers will often receive a large amount
> of unnecessary email notifications (one per item). These email notifications
> are deemed unnecessary as the batch load process occurs in a more controlled
> environment than the normal one at a time Web UI Submission process.
> Is there a way that an institution can temporarily disable/turn off email
> notifications in this situation (or other similar situations)?
