It’s hard to keep up with a private blog because there’s no good way to subscribe to it. Subscription plugins aren’t great because generally you have a finite number of people you want to get to it and asking each one to do a double-opt-in is annoying, and you still wouldn’t have anything for comments.
This hooks into the new comment and new post actions to send an email to the addresses you enter, so it’s easy to follow the entire conversation even if it’s comments on someone else’s blog posts.

Notifly

Send notification emails of all new posts and new comments to everyone on a list. Great for private blogs.

Take Subscribe to Comments. Now, make it smart. And beautiful. And a good listener that accepts replies. That’s Replyable, and it’s built by Postmatic.
<h4>Comment subscriptions reimagined – for better SEO, better conversations, and easier comment management</h4>
Replyable is smart: Not all comments are created equal. Some are thoughtful, relevant, and worth sharing. Others are just a waste of time. Replyable lets your users subscribe to comments without fear – machine learning rates comments for relevance and only sends the best to subscribers.
Replyable is aware: Nobody will get too much email. As conversations get busy comments will be combined into a daily digest. Subscribe to comments is finally safe again. Or, let your users subscribe to only direct replies to their comments.
Replyable listens: Reply to any email sent from Replyable to post your response as a followup comment. No forms, no websites. It works online or offline, from anywhere. And to make comment moderation easier, authors can moderate comments with simple email commands.
Replyable plays wells with others: Replyable is compatible with all other WordPress comment plugins including Epoch, wpDiscuz, Inline Comments, Commentluv, and your current antispam and moderation workflows.
The days of one-way notifications are over. It’s time to let them hit reply.

When things are quiet subscribers receive new comments as they happen. If there are more than a few new comments in the same day email is held back and grouped together into a what’s new daily digest. Best of all, direct replies are always sent immediately to keep side conversations going without bothering the larger group.</li>
<li>Outbound email delivery – stop worrying about host throttling, spam filters, and deliverability. All Replyable notices are sent via our servers and include guaranteed delivery.</li>
<li>Affordable plans for any site.</li>
</ul>
