# Configuring notifications

## Configuring whether notifications will send to authors of blogs if comments are spam

Default behaviour using the `silverstripe/comment-notifications` module is to send notifications of comments to
authors regardless of whether they are spam or not.

In some cases you may wish to not send a notification email to an author if the comment is spam, 
this is a configurable option.

Add the following into your yaml config:

```
SilverStripe\Blog\Model\BlogPostNotifications:
  notification_on_spam: false
```
