In the Discussion settings, I would make sure the box for “Email Me Whenever A comment is held for moderation” is checked.
As for the email address WordPress sends comment moderation emails to, it uses the address listed under Settings > General Settings > Email Address.
]]>I had a different email address in the General section.
Is there a single place to allow comments globally (as default)?
]]>There are settings in the Discussion Settings that says “Allow people to post comments on new articles” and “Automatically close comments on articles older than X days.” As far as I know, those are only away to turn comments on or off globally.
As long as you allow comments on new articles and don’t enable the setting to close comments after a certain number of days, comments should always be on for all posts unless you turn them off on individual posts in the post editor.
