Yes, that is an oldie but a goodie ;-) From the backend, go to the
User Manager. You can toggle "Receive system emails" which used to do
just that.

Actually, on further testing I am not so certain, unless my ISP is
blocking outgoing SMTP traffic that is not authenticated on their SMTP
hosts... hehe

There will be a trigger event in a future version, but I don't
remember that we did that in the 1.0 series. We are adding more events
in the 1.1 series, and 1.2 of course will most likely have even more.

That is the life of Joomla!, first we add stuff, then we add more,
then we tune, then we pare everything back down again, then we add
stuff...
