Ideally... I would be looking at improving the practice on these developers, for example one should be well aware that settings in development and production need to be different. So putting such things as services and other handlers in place, that would do the job and regardless of what server you are on those settings are pulled up.
Hence you could totally say that if in development the to field will always be a test account. However I know that was not your question, and the adivce you have been given will solve your problem. But as I stated, you really should try to begin to nip this in the butt now and begin to get these guys to adhere to some guidelines / internal development procedures. Just a thought.
