This is a confirmed bug with newer confluence versions.

MessageParser::getSender() will fail to get a valid user from e-mail, because userAccessor.getUsersByEmail() for some reason won't return a ConfluenceUser object. When saving the blog post one has to use an object of type ConfluenceUser. Verifying if the user is in a group will work with any User object tough, so sender verification will work.

Currently the following code in MessageToBlogPostProcessor::process()will set the user to anonymous (null) if the User object is not of type ConfluenceUser:

post.setCreator((sender instanceof ConfluenceUser) ? (ConfluenceUser)sender : null);
