Hello AXUG friends!  We are running 2012 RTM.   There are a variety of ways AX routes emails internally and externally for us.  Where non production environments are concerned, we are looking for a way to allow internal emails to route, but stop external emails from routing to customers, etc.  We still want to be able to receive emails for internal testing of workflows, etc.  Does anyone for a solution for this?

Thanks!

I have this come up pretty frequently.

As a general rule, I tell organizations to only allow emails in test/dev on specific tests.  So step one is to have a practice of removing all email setup in dev and test including the email addresses to prevent accidental email to customer or vendor or other trading partners.  And then be very specific about the type of tests your performing.

However, in certain circumstances I recommend handling this from the exchange server.  Since I’m not an expert on Exchange, I can’t tell you the specifics but I can tell you that its possible for Exchange to route emails differently based on rules such as originating server.  For instance, as long as your test/dev server are installed on servers other than Production you should be able to set a rule to prevent outgoing email to external addresses from a specific AOS based on setup of the exchange server.

I hope that helps.
