I'm not familiar with the plugin, but it probably works exactly like serendipity when emailing notifications for received comments. And that is basically just a big wrapper for https://www.php.net/manual/de/function.mail.php. If you are with a shared hoster enabling this is on him and you should contact him, if you are on your own system it's basically about enabling postfix, see https://devanswers.co/how-to-get-php-ma ... n-droplet/.

I remember that last time I had to setup this, I could not do it like normally and had to use a different hoster as email provider. I did describe that in german on https://www.onli-blogging.de/1916/Email ... space.html. But that was because the server was IPv6 only and thus behind Cloudflare, not a too common scenario. The writeup might help a bit anyway.
