By default, [[MailNotifier]] looks up users in the database, based on the uid stored with the relevant changes. It then tries to get the email associated to that id.
However, the various change sources don't populate the email attribute of users they create, so most users won't have an associated email record (even if their identifier is an email address).
This can be worked around by passing lookup="" which avoids using the database.
