When a new comment is added to the blog this plugin will send an email to notify users that a new comment has been added. The email will be sent to

• The author of the post
• If necessary, any users with the editor capability
• If necessary, any users with the administrator capability
• If necessary, the primary administrator (User ID 1)

By default only the author of the post will be sent an email. The options can be changed by using the Comment Notification page under the Settings menu. The options page can be seen in the screenshot below.
