It was pretty frustrating, but after a bit of searching, I guess I wasn’t the only one having the problem.

If you are having the same problem, here are the 2 places that I checked:

Not Receiving Email Notification of New Comments
$phpmailer->Sender line prevents comment notifications from being received

Well, that didn’t really fix it for me.  What I had to do was the following:

1.  Create an email account with my host.  i.e. wordpress@jacknjeannie.com
2.  Install the WordPress Plugin – Comments Notifier

I guess the 2.3 upgrade broke something, so if you are having the same problem, good luck to you.
