    Hello, I’ve searched hard for an answer to this and found several posts asking the same question, but no answer and no action on those posts. So forgive me for leaving my own post…

    Problem: With my former install of WP, when someone left a comment I received an email notification that had a return address of their name and email address. Very nice.

    Now, after an upgrade to 2.0.9, I get the comment notification email but it has a default email address from my hosting server as the return address. I’ve tried everything I can think of, and checked through the WP admin for wrong email address, but everything I look at is set correctly.

    I’d truly appreciate any suggestions on where start fixing this. Even a hint will probably do the trick. I just don’t know where to go…

    Thanks in advance!

    Count me in for this issue also, but I have an additional strange behavior on top of that.

    Each day, I receive anywhere between 1 to 5 email notifications asking me to moderate a comment. The only problem is that the emails are blank and there’s no comments in the moderation queue when I get there. I’ve triple-checked my Options > Discussion and all of the Akismet settings but can’t find the problem.

    Any ideas?

    I used to get notifications but suddenly that stopped happening…

    in users/your profile my email apperas with “dupe-2-” before it and there is no way of getting rid of it. is that normal? does this have something to do with this problem?

    I want my notifications back 🙁

    Even I want a solution to this problem. Can somebody help?
