“Wordpress Notification emails not being sent / received ” issue solved

I installed Wordpress 2.3.1 to my host and..

And from Wordpress’s dashboard Option–>>Discussion

E-mail me whenever:

• 
  Anyone posts a comment
• 
  A comment is held for moderation

I checked both of these above checkboxes to receive any notifications to my mail address.
Then, I went to OPTION–>>GENERAL
and entered my gmail email in EMAIL field.Also from the USERS–>>Administrator
I changed my email address to the same gmail address of mine.

I thought it would work. Since couple of people made comments but I never received any email notifications so far to my gmail mailbox.

It’s only when I logged in to my Wordpress’s Admin panel and found the comments awaiting moderations. I mean I was frustrated not to receive notifications through email. I searched net for a while and found a solution.

SOLUTION:

I removed the following line in wp-includes/pluggable.php which was added in WP 2.3.1:
228 $phpmailer->Sender = apply_filters( 'wp_mail_from', $from_email );

And, I made a test comment as a guest , and voila I got Notification emails.

The above solution is from the link below:
