    I am having some trouble getting comment notification working since I moved to my new ISP. It used to work, but after doing a migration and upgrade to 1.2 it doesn’t seem to work no matter how I configure the settings under Options -> Discussion.
    I don’t get an error message either, so i’m stumped. I searched around the forums and found this thread, but it didn’t help much.
    Sorry if this is obvious, but I haven’t been able to figure it out on my own so far.

  • One thing to do would be to email your hosts and ask what changes they may have made and explain the problem.
    Another idea, to check your server, would be to install a contact form and see if that works ?

    Do you get any mails at all from your weblog?
    Try registering a user, that is supposed to send out a mail to the site admin…

    It seems that I am not getting any emails from my website. I registered a test user with another email address and I didn’t get an email at either the admin account or the email address that I registered the test user with.
    Is there anything else that could be wrong on my side, or is it time to call my ISP?

    ISP time, and if it’s a mistake from them, or they have the world’s wierdest way of invoking post, then post back here ??

    I emailed my ISP… I’m waiting to hear back now.
    Something strange happened though… When I registered a new user, I did get an email sent to my admin account… but the From address listed some helpdesk person at my ISP… I’m pretty sure that isn’t how it is suppossed to work.
    I still don’t receive any notification emails about comments though. I’ll update this thread again when I hear back from my ISP.

    It looks like this is a problem with my ISP, and I have someone helping me to resolve it. I am getting emails for user registrations and lost passwords, but not for comments. I have checked all of the proper boxes under the ‘discussion’ tab, but still nothing.
    I take it there must not be many ISPs who have the same setup as mine, but if anyone is having this problem please add on to this thread. We can let the WP developers know about this issue and see if they can create a work around.
