After verifying them locally etc, I follow this multiphase approach when introducing new email-sending functionality in production:
Send every email to myself instead of user
Send to user, and BCC myself
Send only to user, remove my BCC
This lets me safely test the emails go out to the right people at the right time in the right format. I wait a few days or sometimes weeks between each phase.
I have the exact same strategy for #jomo , BCC'ed myself for a few days for all new email templates.
I still BCC myself for emails related to some features like student discounts, this way I know the pipeline for that feature is working from A to Z. This serves more as a "health check" in that situation.
