The author of an article is sent the email notification when comments are posted assuming that your Options, Discussion, Email me whenever: Anyone posts a comment is checked.
I am having the same problem. I was recieving blog comments by email until a week or so ago. I still recieve notifications when someone registers with the blog, but no longer when they comment. The email address works correctly otherwise, too. I have it checked to notify me when “Anyone posts a comment.” Moderation is turned off. the admin email is correct in mysql. Any tips?
Notification of comments is sent to email address of the user/author of the post, not the admin email (though registration notification is sent to the admin email). Also some hosts will want the From: email address to be within your domain (like Yahoo).
is there a way to get around that? is there a way to notify the admin no matter who the author is?
Suppose in wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php in the function wp_notify_postauthor() are (around line 226) yo could add one line and change another:
add
admin_email = get_settings("admin_email");
change
@wp_mail($user->user_email, $subject, $notify_message, $message_headers);
to
@wp_mail($admin_email, $subject, $notify_message, $message_headers);
Haven’t tested this so make a copy of pluggable-functions.php before making any changes.
Let us know if this works please.

I am not getting email notification, even though I am the authro and have checked the proper box. I was getting comments until a few weeks ago. which file contains the code to notify the author. I think it has been corrupted.
I think I may have solved the problem. I believe some files became corrupted somehow. I re installed several, including the “comments” file from the theme I’m using.
I was having the same problem, even after upgrading to 1.5.2. I solved it with the wpphpmailer plug-in.
I have the same problem. I tried to make some changes in the file “pluggable-function.php” but it doesn’t seem to work better. The point is that I receive some notifications, but not all ! Does someone have an idea about that ? I’m getting crazy !!!
