As confirmed in the comments, we just add the current state of the setting only.

---------

I would like to request a new feature to be able to disable all outgoing messages from a Moodle site from within the interface... so in essence a "Silent Mode".

This would disable any emails sent out for new account creation or forgot passwords. With that being said it would be important to add a warning that this would make password recovery impossible.

The reason for this feature is that many times when a site is being setup it is unwanted to have email messages sent to users. Or for other scenario's of it being a development or testing site and again notification to users being unwanted.

I believe there is a setting in the configuration file to disable the emails which can be leveraged to work with a configuration setting from the interface of Moodle.

Thanks!

Tasks:

• Expose the setting as an admin setting
• show a warning on the email test page

Other potential tasks:

• Warn or disable the email password recovery flow on the login page
• warn or disable the tickbox when an admin is editing a user to send out a password
