Title:
  forum notification mails sent to system user

Status in Mahara:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Notifications on new forum comments are sent to the mahara root user
  (ID=0). This appeared after a Mahara upgrade. The current version is
  16.04.3.

  Update: The system user in mahara has the default address
  root@xxxxxxxxxxx. Now that the mahara instance sends out mails to an
  inexistent address, it would get blacklisted by the networks mail
  "watchdog". This could turn into a bigger problem for the mahara
  application, as all mails would get blocked.

  To reproduce this problem, change the root@xxxxxxxxxxx email address
  in the mahara DB to a real address so you receive the mails sent
  there.
