Quick Movable Type hack. If you ever reply to users who’ve left comments on your site – you’ll get a email notification the same as you do for every commenter. Via the Movable Type support forum, I found a way of stopping it. Go to lib/MT/App/Comments.pm in your MT folder. Find the line that reads:
MT::Mail->send(\%head, <This is on line 152 if you’re using MT 2.6. Change it to:
MT::Mail->send(\%head, $body) unless $author->email eq $comment->email;And you’re done.

Very good work Jon!I will have to dip my toes in the source code and try this out.
Your site is turning into a wonderful designer's resource!

I'm not using MovableType, but isn't there a risk that, with this modification, you wouldn't notice someone posting comments pretending to be you? (Or maybe I'm a bit paranoid with comments.)Jon Hicks said 1755 days ago:
True, that would be a possibility, although they would have to be awful cad to do a thing like that though. (I'm paranoid now).Presumably, if you were a whizz with Perl, you could sniff out the IP address as well, which would help.
