I believe that's a good approach. I do exactly the same. I have built an App for a Service Desk. In my Solution I have an environment variable for holding a group email address. That way when I am in Development or Test Environment the emails go to a test email account. When the Solution goes into Production the Email address is the actual Service Desk Group Account.

Maybe this is not what you were looking for, but I wouldn't see why an environment variable wouldn't work if another variable like my example does. Let me know if it behaves differently... curious...
