# notification.redirect
#
# When set, the value of this property is the name of a file to
# which all email notifications will be written, rather than
# attempting to contact an SMTP server. This is useful
# in demo situations where no SMTP server is available, as it
# avoids having SMTP server errors show up in the Workflow
# summary reports.
