Comment notification email not working

  • My blog has only been up for e few weeks, and although everything else seems to work fine, comment notification email does not work.

    I’ve gone through the settings (admin panel) several times, and it should work.

    Also I believe I can exclude errors caused outside WP, because user subscriptions generate email both to admin and the new user. So, sendmail itself works ok.
    Also, the actual comments work, only the notifications do not.

    I’m stuck and do’nt know what to try or to look for. Questions are as welcome as suggestions.

    Same problem here since upgrade to 3.2.1. I didn’t change anything in the settings, it worked fine before.

    Previous setting:
    E-mail me whenever
    – anyone posts a comment,
    – a comment is held for moderation
    (both checked, rest unchecked)

    Here is what did the trick for me:

    1) set the e-mail-address under Settings > General to the same one that’s set in my user profile as admin

    2) Checked the “Before a comment appears -An administrator must always approve the comment” option once, saved, and unchecked it again, saved

    It’s mysterious, but it seems to be working now ?? Had some test comments and got all notifications.
