When you test email in a sandbox, a blackhole prevents the accidental sending of test
messages to real customer email addresses. Use a blackhole to test high-volume email sends, flow
executions, or complex, multichannel campaign builds without consuming message credits.

Enable Blackhole in a full or partial sandbox, and then add exceptions for domains
that need to receive test emails.
-
Log in to a sandbox org that includes Marketing Cloud Next.
-
From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Blackhole, and then
select Sandbox Blackhole.
-
Turn on Blackhole.
It takes about 10 minutes for the changes to take effect.
-
(Optional) In the Add Allowed Email Domains section, add up to five email domains that
can receive test emails. For example, if you add example.org, a
sandbox email sent to any address with the example.org domain can reach the
recipient.
