Hey everyone,
I've been getting hit with an unbelievable amount of spam signups and things like the number of confirmation emails etc is causing issues with my host because they think I'm mass mailing.
Is there a way to disable all types of mailing done by elgg?
From what I understand (but I'm a noob so correct me if I'm wrong) the mail i sent out from the engine/handlers folder? Can I just delete one of the files in there to remove all mailing or edit one of them or something?
Any help is greatly appreciated :)

You must log in to post replies.In this case the correct solution is to prevent the creation of spam accounts instead of preventing email form being sent. There are multiple plugins available for this in the "spam" category of the plugins directory: http://community.elgg.org/plugins/search?f%5Bc%5D%5B%5D=spam&sb=Search
No. Never delete or edit any of the files included in the Elgg default package. If you want to change how something works, you should do it through a plugin: http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Plugin_development
Until you get your spam issue fixed, you can temporarily disable sending with either of these ways:
Whichever of these two you decide to use, do it through a plugin.
The right way of doing it is as Juho mentioned.
