Reproduce Steps:
1. Create mail session from Control panel
SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465
[x] Use Secure Connection
User: Your gmail username
Password: Your gmail password

2. Create user test2
Email: Give valid gmail address to check for emails
User Permission: Power User, User
3. Create a blog entry in My Public Pages (belongs to user [e-mail])
4. Set following perms on the Blogs portlet and entry:
Blogs permissions: 'Subscribe': added Power User, User
Blog entry: 'Add Discussion': added Power User, User
5. Login as user test2
6. Go to http://localhost:8080/web/test/home/ (My Public Pages for user test)
6. Select the existing blog entry
7. Select comments for the blog entry
8. Select subscribe for blog entry
9. Add a comment for the blog entry (note, you are still user test2)

Results in following:

• no email message received in the gmail inbox for test2.
• NoSuchGroupException when SubscriptionSender checks permissions. I don't recognize the group ID mentioned as it is neither user's group ID.

Note, user test2 is able to receive notifications from blog entries .... just not from blog entry comments/replies.
