Using the firewall will be the best and easiest option as others have
suggested.
And then is easy to adjust if you want to allow/deny specific traffic for
testing.
We had a similar issue where we have a live and test environment on the
same partition, to solve it we introduced a flag to indicate the test area
and if the flag was set the to email address was overridden to a local
address. We made the check a procedure which subsequently allowed us to
change from a having the flag in a file to using an environment variable
very easily. This subsequently expanded to cover ftp and web service
calls.

Sent by: "MIDRANGE-L" <midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Hello all,
This may sound like a silly question...then again it may not. We have a
partition that we have spun up for the sole purpose of testing an upgrade
to our ERP package. One of the things that we are testing as part of this
is all of our batch jobs that run through the Advanced Job Scheduler.
Since we don't want to have this partition sending things out as if it was
our production system, we are ending certain things on this system, such
as email and FTP. I've used the new version of Navigator to specifically
end the FTP server, and I can verify that there are no server jobs running
and that I can't FTP TO this partition. Only problem is, I still seem to
be able to FTP FROM this partition. I've not tried to actually send a
file out with the FTP server down, but I can for sure still connect to one
of our other partitions and query the contents of a directory on that
partition.
Is there something additional that I have to do to make it so that I can't
FTP into OR out of this partition? I was thinking that ending the FTP
server did both, but apparently not. I'd appreciate any and all input you
may have on this. Thanks!
