notification for comments are not being sent

[eddymejia]

On my multi-blog site I have set up the admin to be notified on comments,
but testing the comments I have not been able to get notified by email that a comment
has been made. I am using the WordPress version 4.1.1 running Avada theme.

I found that if I comment out this line in my pluggable.php

apply_filters( 'comment_moderation_recipients', $emails, $comment_id );

it sends my email. Do you know how this is used, and why this is clearing out the email array?

Hi Eddy, welcome to Trac!

I'm unable to reproduce this issue on a clean multisite install running 4.1.1. Comment recipient emails are being sent as expected.

It sounds like maybe you have a plugin that's hooking to the comment recipients hook and modifying who is getting notified. I'd suggest deactivating all of your plugins and trying again.

If you continue to have problems, please refer your questions to our helpful volunteers on the WordPress.org ​support forums.

Looks like it was a plugin called "Akismet" that was changing my comment recipients. Thanks for your help.
