Public bug reported:

Seen on a 15.10 site for example, but possibly also 15.04 on mahara.org


Comments placed anonymously on a page send a notification to the "System User". 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.
