Can I change when validated e-mails are sent?

Can I change when validated e-mails are sent?
As everyone knows, by default, an e-mail is sent to link owners once their link is validated. However, I am in the process of building a site off-line and would prefer that the link owners do not get the e-mail until I build the site. Is this a possible modification?

I suppose the only other aveneue would be to turn off notification and send an e-mail to ALL owners after I build.

I'd like to know if I could make a permanent change, though.

Replace the following variable configuration in the Links.pm:

Code:

LINKS{email_add} = 1;


with the following:

Code:

LINKS{email_add} = 0;


Wink

OR simply use the admin.cgi script to ADD links into your Links table since no emails are sent when you add them via the admin.cgi script.

Eliot,

I think you missed my point. I would like the link owners to be notified, but not until I build the database. There is no point having people notified, in my opinion, until the site has been built and the links can be viewed.

Then use the Newsletter for Link Owners option to notify your Link Owners.

Yeah, I figured that that would be the best way to go.

Thanks!
