Comment (by joe.woidpress):

 Replying to [comment:4 shacker]:
 > In the meantime, authors on multi-author sites who have never seen
 moderation emails before are being hammered with them (and confused by
 them), and admins are put in an uncomfortable situation trying to tell
 authors to ignore them. Until this is fixed, is there anything we can do
 to disable moderation emails to authors?

 I think the best you could do at this point is to hack wp-
 includes/pluggable.php and modify link 1121. My guess is if you changed
 the 'edit_comment' capability so something that only your desired access
 level can do (check http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities for
 something that might work), that would at least patch things for the time
 being if this is a huge issue for you. (This whole issue seems to stem
 from the new 'edit_comment' capability added in WordPress 3.)

 ...best I could come up with for you.

 Hopefully there will be more granularity for selecting who gets emailed in
 the future...
