Mentat

I have identified the source of the problem. There are default configurations in core/common.json.conf configuration file for mail related stuff. The important thing is, that there is also a default value root for mail_to setting. The whole thing is designed to prevent Mentat system from accidentally spamming real world abuse contacts and this value takes overrides the values for abuse groups from database. Thanks to this design it is possible to simply set mail_to: "root" as a default setting and you can be "sure" no email will be send to the world after default installation. When you want to enable sending reports in production environment, you have to either disable the default setting in core/common.json.conf, or override it to mail_to: null in mentat-reporter.py.conf file.

I have included this piece of information into all relevant configuration files and documentation pages related to reporting configuration.

I have fixed the reporting configuration on our production server and I am currently waiting for some data to appear to verify, that emails are actually sent to target abuse contacts.

Latest patch adds new features to reporting dashboard and informant emails, that will hopefully enable system administrator to spot problems with reporting more quickly (version >= 2.3.25).
