It could be so useful for testing instances where smtp is deactivated by security, to avoid sending real emails.

It means that we need to create a testing user in production, then export production, import production into testing environment, then delete the testing user in production!

If you have a workaround to create a user in a testing environment where smtp is disabled, I would be so glad… 🙂
