Magento send outgoing email to specific email address for testing

Is there an Admin Settings where i can set all the outgoing email to a specific email address.

The reason is in my development of Magento, i am using db from production and there are email addresses from real users which i do not want to acccidentaly send a message to them while im developing..

For example in subscribers, i want to send a newsletter but all emails should go to the email address i will set..

If no admin settings, i have no choice but to create migration script and update related tables that contains the email addresses..

Magento experts, any advice?

There's nothing in the admin settings for this. You are making a wise move though, having live customer information in a dev site can be dangerous. It's also a risk for the business, the customer details can be valuable so you really don't want them kicking around in a dev database at all imo.

There's a great set of tools for managing Magento from the command line

https://github.com/netz98/n98-magerun

Deleting the live customers and replacing them with dummies is one of the many options you've got;

https://github.com/netz98/n98-magerun#user-content-delete-customers

https://github.com/netz98/n98-magerun#user-content-generate-dummy-customers

So to delete all your live customers in the dev site you'd do;

php n98-magerun.phar customer:delete --all

from the command line once you've followed the instructions and downloaded the script to your Magento root.
