# Problems with comment notification

 * I’ve been using WP for some time without any problems. However, in the last couple
   of days, comment notification seems to have ceased. I have checked that it is
   set to send to the correct address. I have checked that the address is working.
   I have checked that my spam filter is not stopping the mails (I’ve actually switched
   it off whilst I fix this). I’ve checked all the settings I can think of, to no
   avail.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. Graybo [http://www.grayblog.co.uk](http://www.grayblog.co.uk)

 * Additional information:
    I have Kitten’s Spaminator installed, but disabling 
   the plugin doesn’t help. I’m using WP 1.2.1

 * Try upgrading to WP v1.2.2. See the following link if you need any help with 
   that. [http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading](http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading)

 * I’m now on 1.2.2 and still have the same problem, using the latest version of
   wp-comments-post.php (which I assume is the file responsible for posting notifications).
   
   I’ve treble-checked my settings, and they are all correct.

 * Has your host made any changes to the mail sending functions on your server ?
   
   If it literally just stopped, and you had not edited or otherwise altered any
   WP file at all between the last email received and then it all stopping, then
   it must be a host error. Otherwise, if you have upgraded, you did first delete
   all wp files in /wp-admin and /wp-includes before uploading new files ? Never
   rely on your ftp client overwriting files properly – it saves a lot of hassle
   to just delete them first.

 * *sigh* I’m sorry. Nevermind for me.
