There are so many things that can go wrong it can drive you crazy. Email problems are some of the worst problems that my business has encountered.

@ChrisM: Thanks for the pointer, and for popping by.

I’ve added the “Subscribe to Comments Plugin”

Enjoy

Hi Owen, long time no cross-cyber paths

Anyway to get back on topic, another symptom resulting from the ‘no wordpress@yourdomain.com account configured’ issue is when your comment notifications do arrive, but appear to come from “box251.bluehost.com” (as an example).
Occasionally you’ll also find some plugins attempt to send from other accounts, so it may be worth scanning through the code to check if you need to create another @yourdomain.com e-mail account, on top of wordpress@yourdomain.com
Finally, any chance you’ll install a subscribe to comments type plugin? I’m truly awful at checking back on posts I’ve left witterings on…
