Looking at the mail server source and history, it appears that is intentional and the change was made 13 years ago (around line 2961 of mailsrvr.c):
https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/729eb16b838bbb3471a7753bfff6d1b51

The commit message doesn't explain *why* that change was made, but I assume it was to de-clutter the login after receiving a ton of SPAM email messages. <shrug>

I could add an option to send email notices to offline users too (for you/your BBS). But this wasn't a recent change or bug.
