>From my simple test: 1) In config.php have $cfg->sendemail = true; $cfg->sendallemailto = '[an actual email address]';
2) On a clean site create a user 'User A' 3) Login as user A 4) Create page 5) Make page public 6) Logout 7) Go to page while logged out and leave comment (anonymous user comment) In you email inbox you should receive two emails (well I did) one meant for User A and one meant for Root user The one for Root user is not needed so should be fixed - but there was one sent for User A so I'm not sure why Gregor didn't get any email (unless his notification settings were different for comments) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

The real person doesn't get notified and it's a way for spammers to leave comments that aren't seen. Gregor for example reported that he didn't get informed about spam comments on https://mahara.org/user/anzeljg/windowslive-blocktype (or the artefact) and thus couldn't remove them unless he was on the page and saw the comments. I don't get System User emails, but suspect that this might be a similar issue.
