[wp-testers] No comment notification using WP 3.0-alpha

[Kirk M]

Perhaps I should just ask straight out. Are any of the members of this 
mailing list receiving comment notifications from the WP 3.0-alpha builds?

I've talked to 3 more acquaintances who are testing WP 3.0 and they are 
not receiving comment notifications as well. That makes 6 so far 
including myself and we can't find a thing wrong with the installs and 
no error log entries. There's no common facotr between the 6 installs 
that we can find and the problem is not plugin related.

Could someone please check their installs to make sure that they're are 
indeed receiving comment notifications? There's no reason that WP 3.0 
should be sending all other email notifications *except* those standard 
notifications related strictly to new comments.

Thanks
