As an admin, you can control which types of emails are sent to members. Go to Administration > Settings > Notifications to adjust these settings.
You have three options for site-wide email notifications:
All notification emails — Members receive all types of notifications, including site-wide and essential emails.
Site-wide notifications include new activity based on members' subscriptions (subscribed spaces, followed posts, and subscribed members).
Note: This setting does not mean members receive notifications for every new action or activity.
Only essential notifications — Members receive only important notifications such as invitations, password resets, and member exports (admins only).
Turn off all notifications — No emails from your site are sent.
If you handle email notifications separately, disable outgoing emails from your site.
