 * Hi,
 * Total blog-newbie here…
 * Comment notification is turned on in my WordPress installation, (a newly installed
   v2.1), however, despite that, I haven’t recieved any notifications at all.
 * I have an email address set up for the admin account, is that all i should need
   to recieve the notifications? Or have i missed a setting somewhere?
 * Thanks in advance,
 * Baz

 * I’m in the same boat, but it doesn’t seem anyone wants to help us. 🙁

 * Oh, you’re not alone! 🙂 Try rowing over to this thread:
 * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/100849](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/100849)
 * See if anything that’s been said there thus far is helpful. Like I say over there,
   I still don’t quite know what the problem is and would certainly appreciate some
   input from someone with more knowledge on the subject, but I seem to have found
   a satisfactory (though admittedly imperfect) fix on my end.

 * Thanks for the help Wes, unfortunately, it doesn’t work for me…. 🙁
 * Is there something i need to be enabling on my webspace in order that the mail()
   command would do something? Like I said before, I’m a complete newbie at this,
   I’m sorta fumbling around trying to make sense of the stuff as i go…

 * Hrm, not that I know of, though it’s possible. (Something like this has been 
   mentioned in other threads, but — conveniently — I haven’t seen any in which 
   anyone elaborates on precisely how one would go about enabling sendmail on the
   server.) The plugin I linked in the other thread doesn’t exactly fix the problem,
   but rather goes around it. You will need to have an outside SMTP account to get
   it to work, though.
