Spammers and banned members still get notification emails

[Apfelstrudel]

Hi,

a couple of days ago we found out that banned members and spammers get notification emails.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Does anybody else have this issue?

Nobody has this issue too?

Gross. I have not tested yet to see if it's happening on my message boards.

Notification emails going to bad email addresses is a big problem if one is concerned about having the message board's domain get put onto spam blacklists or the domain getting downgraded by Cisco or other spam filter services when spam-detection algorithms are applied. Banned members and spammers would seem to have a higher chance of having bad email addresses than other registered users do.
