Disabling outgoing mail is the best way to solve your problem of not sending mails. There are lots of ways you could accidentally re-start sidekiq.

You should upgrade from the command line. (`./launcher rebuild app`).

If you don’t want all of your imported users to get a PM from discobot (which starts a bunch of sidekiq processes) you should find that system setting before you do the import.
