TOPIC: Are emails being sent on every comment approval?

I am testing the core version on a test system. The email function in Joomla is disabled (so real users don't get test emails). I was playiong around with comment approvals and when I approve a comment I am getting a message indicating an email was successfully sent to the poster (it didn't though thankfully due to the email system being disabled).

So is this to be expected? Can I turn it off?

Thanks.

I see now that emails are sent when the publish button under the Published column for a specific comment is clicked. If the comments are checked-marked and then the larger Publish button at the top left is clicked then no emails are sent. The tool-tips explain this but the documentation did not.

Good, glad you found it out.
If you use the fronend moderation I think that we always send a mail to the user.
