No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    Thank you for this very useful plugin for preventing unwanted emails from going out. I’ve used this on test versions of sites to block automated emails from going to site members. I used this today when updating old WooCommerce orders but didn’t want automatic emails going to customers and confusing them. Works well and has useful options such as blocking emails completely which was helpful today as I would otherwise have sent over 240 emails.

    I love not having to worry about who I might inadvertently send an email to when debugging plugins. So far this plugin has worked flawlessly for me. I don’t think I’ve ever left a review on a WordPress plugin before, but this plugin is going to be tremendously useful and so I thought I would come on here to say a big thank you to Sajjad for making this plugin. Thanks.

    Having emails go out from test sites is a nightmare and this plugin makes it easy to completely turn them off, I love it! Only thing I wish was there is the ability to selectively re-enable certain emails, specifically password reset emails. In my case, I need to be able to have users log into the test site sometimes, and if they don’t know their password, having them reset it is so much easier than any other solution. Would be great to have a checkbox for this in particular (and maybe some other cases). Either way, amazing plugin, been using it for years and it’s been kept up to date nicely 👍

    I used this plugin in development server, so the real customers did not get test email.
