Hi Marcuse,
If you go to Admin > Channel Administration > Channels > Your Channel
and then scroll down to Notification Preferences you can add your email address to the field for Email Address of Notification Recipient(s) below both Enable recipient list below for channel entry notification? AND Enable recipient list below for comment notification?. Also be sure to select yes to each of those fields.
You can additionally choose yes for Notify the author of an entry whenever a comment is submitted? so that the author will receive email notifications.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.
Sean
