>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)

Title:
  Anonymously placed comments end up with system user

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
