I'm wondering if there is an option that I'm missing that will force Mango to send all comment notification emails to the administrator account? The current behavior as I understand it is to send a notification email to any post author for a new comment, but I would like to also send a copy of all comments to an admin email address as well, since our blog has numerous authors.

I tried changing the following argument in the mailer.cfc sendEmail function, as the default from address is the address I would like all comment notifications to go to.

<cfargument name="bcc" required="false" default="#variables.defaultFromAddress#">

After reloading the app, this change did not seem to do the trick. Is this not the function that sends the comment notifications? I'm aware that this change may not be upgrade safe, should I be trying to build a plugin for this type of functionality, or is there some other path all together that I should be trying?

The closest plugin that exists is this one:
http://commentjunkie.riaforge.org/

It will apparently send to all blog authors, but it should be easy to modify to do what you want.
