Group mention notifications going to users not in group

Ok these are all good pieces of the puzzle!

I’m going to assume this is a correct statement based on everything that has been said so far:

  • When mentioning the @Support group, several users who do not belong to the group receive user_linked notifications despite there being no link included in the post body or title.

Some other questions that will rule out potential problem areas:

  • If you create a new “Test” group with just yourself as a member, configure it with the same settings as @Support, and mention this new test group, do the same users get notified?

  • If you mention a specific user that is not one of the users receiving the errant notifications, do the affected users still get the user_linked notification?

If you can get answers to those, then I’ll work up some commands we can use to check your database in some obvious places.

I still would like to know what plugins you are running. It seems unlikely that a plugin would cause this issue, but you never know. If you want to try disabling you plugins to see if the issue persists, that would be even better.
