    Is there a way to enable non-admin users to approve comments?

    Will they receive email notification? Sorry this was my real question.

    The admin of the blog gets the comment moderation email.

    I'm setting up blogs for our constituents and would like to not give them the admin role but be able to have one of their users receive the email notification of new comments. Is there a way to do this?

    If to comment goes in moderation, the admin of the blog gets the email.

    If it's a live comment, the author of the post gets the email.

    I think it cannot be automated without hacking core, but you can think outside the WP box and just have a forwarding rule on your email server:

    - When a mail from your blog comes to the admin account, with subject ' a new comment awaits moderation' (or whatever it exactly says), forward it to email address of non-admin moderator.
