how do i stop sending all emails?
- Edited
1Dot But It will log error in storage/logs
let it create email fail logs. i can delete them later.
if i use log mode it will trigger sending emails when it's set back to smtp or mail driver. (i dont want this to happen)
maybe someone can make an extension to stop all emails. so it will not create logs 
If you disable all email but keep registrations open, new users will be unable to activate their accounts unless you also have a process to manually enable the users or you have an extension taking care of that. They will also be unable to change email or password. You also likely need to change some of Flarum translations because there are multiple texts that tell the user to expect an email.
I believe there's also an email driver called array that will cause emails to be generated in memory but not sent.

clarkwinkelmann thanks for taking time to explain the complications of disabling email.
In my case I'm tired of handling duplicate accounts so we made its mandatory to login using social login. I don't want any user to change passwors so no worry.
I kept registration open and hiding signup form using CSS for now
Setting to mailgun and leaving it with no configuration will make mails to go to the mars 
(I didn't get correct word 
) that is all I wanted .

Hari i have (mod) participated in a discussion and a user posted something and i received an email notification even its not yet approved.
i thought it was supposed to send emails when a post is approved. i don't know how it's working.
If you have "Automatically follow discussions that I reply to" enabled in your preferences, that could be why you still got the email notification of an unapproved post. The post exists, it's just that it's hidden pending approval but can still possibly count as an event. That makes me wonder if a normal user without any Admin permissions still gets an email notification if a discussion they reply to has a post pending approval 
doubtful nonetheless but I haven't really tested that theory.
I know an approach I recommended on another forum powered by Flarum has helped tremendously with not hitting their email quota so quickly. The local extender code disables all user preferences that pertain to email notifications when a new user registers. In hindsight, I can share this code if needed 
The local extender does not disable password reset emails, unfortunately.
clarkwinkelmann unless you also have a process to manually enable the users or you have an extension taking care of that
Fortunately, we do hehe https://discuss.flarum.org/d/6485-email-verification-switch

I would love to try your local extender.
Hari i don't want to put my hands in db
You could also use a dummy SMTP server that just dumps the mails to /dev/null. Something like
python -m smtpd -nc DebuggingServer localhost:2525 > /dev/null
But getting your hands on the db seems to be the simpler option and works also on shared hosting.

This should take care of some of the notifications
<?php

use Flarum\User\Event\Registered;
use Flarum\User\User;
use Flarum\Extend;
return [
(new Extend\Event)
->listen(Registered::class, function (Registered $event) {
foreach ([
'postMentioned',
'userMentioned',
'newPost',
'newDiscussionInTag',
'newPostInTag',
'newDiscussionTag',
'discussionCreated',
'postUnapproved',
'userCreated'
] as $key) {
$event->user->setPreference(
User::getNotificationPreferenceKey("{$key}", 'email'),
false
);
}
$event->user->setPreference('followAfterReply', false);
$event->user->save();
})
];You should be able to add more to the array if you know the serialized type for the notification in question.
Ralkage That makes me wonder if a normal user without any Admin permissions still gets an email notification if a discussion they reply to has a post pending approval
I have the same thought about emails for new discussions pending approval. I know I as an admin am receiving new discussion emails for unapproved ones, because I am following all tags but I am hoping regular users that follow these tags are not also receiving notifications until they are approved. I don't know that this is the case though, because I don't receive another notification after approving it.

ctml flarum is working fine, I have mentioned that I actually do have mod privileges . (All permissions except access to admin panel)
Already tired of handling emails so I thought of turning it off. And if I turn it off users will come and visit my site the next day or later .. I get more page loads (returning
users) 
not running ads though
Ralkage thanks for sharing it, if I updated my flarum will I lose this code from extend .php file?
Another solution! there is a extension developed by Clark
