Delete comments and receive notifications as an admin

[criticalcake]

Hi there,

as a site admin I would like to receive notifications each time someone creates a comment on my site.
Also, I would like to be able to delete comments, which seem to be inappropriate (e.g. SPAM, etc.).
At the moment, I don't use telegram and I don't have any kind of mail server installed on my VPS.

What is the recommended way to do this?

Sorry, if this is a silly question, but I checked the documentation several times and unfortunately I don't get it (as I'm new to linux and web development).

What are valid values for ADMIN_SHARED_ID? My github account name?
Do I need a mail server? Should I use RSS feeds instead?

Many thanks in advance!

I guess you meant email notification? This functionality already available, see NOTIFY_EMAIL_ADMIN (notify admin on new comments via ADMIN_SHARED_EMAIL)

Also, I would like to be able to delete comments

Admins can delete comments

What are valid values for ADMIN_SHARED_ID? My github account name?

This is the id you can see after the login

Up to you. If you want to get email notification you need to set up some email service. See documentation covering integration with popular services.
