Forj is happy to offer an Email notification setting that will turn off emails for the entire Community when desired. This is designed to allow Admins to make changes to notifications, or setup their site without sending emails to the entire new Community. When this is set to off, all Email Notifications will be disabled except for transactional emails for password resets. 

When Email Notifications are turned off, the Account Owner and Community Managers are the only users who will receive emails. When Email Notifications are turned back on, users will not be sent the emails that were created while the notifications were turned off. 

If you are interested in this feature, or would like to have this feature temporarily activated for your Community, please reach out to Forj Support or your CSM for assistance.
