We're offline. No email. it would be nice to remove that requirement with entering students. How can this be done?
Thanks!
Cheat! Give Moodle what it wants for accounts ... it doesn't check to see if that EMail address is valid or not just that it's in the proper format ... user@somenet.net.
So .... everyone's address could be the FQDN or IP address of the server.
Server FQDN: mymoodle.internal.loc
Then all EMail addresses use [username]@mymoodle.internal.loc
Server using IP: 192.168.1.200
Then all EMail addresses use: [username]@192.168.1.200
There's a plugin called QuickMail that mimics Internet mail but never leaves the server.
Any other method users attempt in using EMail will fail ... server not set up to receive mail.
Just don't force subscribe all users in a course to a forum. Subscriptions means Moodle will attempt to deliver forum postings via EMail.
If you're not sure about this suggestion, try CVS install of a couple of users using the above:
hpotter,hpotter@mymoodle.internal.loc
hpotter2,hpotter2@mymoodle.internal.loc
Then test to see what those uses can do that involve EMail.
It will work ... used to do this for school students on a Moodle under the age of 13 with no EMail address provided by school or allowed by parents.

Hi Jeannie,
In addition to Ken's suggestions, please see the documentation No Email for further options.
Thanks to both of you for responding. We have been faking it. But, I was hoping to simply remove the requirement. Is that possible?
