 * just stopped, after I deleted a few hundred spam comments. All going well since
   last oct, then 5 days ago, all comments stopped coming to my email.
 * Is there any live person who knows about this sutff that can talk me through 
   what I need to know to moderate my blog simply?
 * Thanks in advance, really, thank you.

 * Personally, I would suggest to replace the WordPress comment coding with Facebook
   Comments. I try to offer this to every client I do a website for. Spam gets a
   hold of the proper URL for your site, comments can easily be sent left and right.
 * Facebook Comments allows a tremendous exposure to your blog when comments are
   made, and you are still able to moderate via Facebook App.
 * See here: [https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/)
 * For the specific topic in hand:
 * Some more basic things to check:
 * 1) Disable ALL your plugins and try it.
    2) Check SPAM folder. 3) Check your 
   theme’s functions.php file to see if anything redefines the functions: **wp_mail()**
   or **wp_notify_postauthor()**. 4) Are you getting other notifications and not
   just comments? Try setting up a fake user to see if you receive that notification.
   If not, maybe you need to speak with your hosting company.
