User stats emails should not be sent on system other than prod

[awead]

Stage and QA likely have the same cron jobs as prod, which means they will send out emails on the same date as prod. We should not do this.

TODO:

• ensure cron job for scholarsphere:stats:notify only runs on the production jobs server

what we usually do is have a global bit that turns off the mailer, or use something like mailcatcher

are we setting email on / off in the rails config someplace?

[awead]

@whereismyjetpack No, mailler is on. I'm thinking we need to have another ENV key in application.yml that indicates what "environment" it is: qa, stage, prod, etc. But "environment" doesn't seem to be the right word.

[whereismyjetpack]

I'm usually more a fan of explicit config bits, instead of guessing based off env (this seems to be a rails anitpattern though)

i.e

mailer:
  enabled: true

in application.yml

[whereismyjetpack]

there may also be a case where we want to sent the smtp server to something like mail catcher to get a view on what it would have done?

[awead]

The mailer still needs to be enabled so we can test things. We can just turn off the job under config/schedule.rb:31.
