What it does
An emergency stop for every email PIM Manager sends: alerts, the daily digest, the tier report, TAP codes, approval, review and reminder mails, and test mails. It is checked at the single point every mail passes through.
When enabled
When on: every email is dropped with the reason 'email kill switch on'. The PIM Manager stops at once; the engine and scheduled jobs stop from their next run. New admin accounts cannot receive their TAP by mail, and the engine reports that. The Teams/generic alert webhook and Teams/Slack TAP chat delivery are not email and keep working.
When disabled
When off: mail is sent normally through the configured mail sending, subject to the redirect and allowlist.
Risk and how to reverse it
Nobody is mailed about failures, drift, break-glass use or safety-breaker trips while it is on, and mails dropped meanwhile are never re-sent. Reversible: switch it off and save; the PIM Manager resumes at once, jobs and the engine from their next run.
Requires
SuperAdmin role in PIM Manager. Nothing else.
Recommended
Off. Use it only briefly -- for example while you fix a misbehaving template or a wrong recipient list -- and configure the alert webhook if you still need to be told about failures meanwhile.
