Actually, that’s a good point – hosting company or destination email hosting might have outgoing/incoming spam detection of some sort that’s grabbing it.

Indeed, I was going to raise the same point. If the OP is using the email service provided by his hosting service, check that the messages are whitelisted in their anti-spam settings, and it is probably helpful to verify that TXP preferences > Admin > SMTP envelope sender address is set (correctly).

Much obliged, Sir. Even though it was two minutes five minutes ago.
Added a comment, as I found the thread where we talked about it before.

I was thinking (perhaps naively) of something simpler, like something illegal in the comment / commenter’s address that causes the sending of the email to abort but not the database entry of the comment.
