I am working on sharepoint 2013 discussion board, the scenarios is when ever any user replies to a discussion, an email is sent to the author. I have checked there is no workflow associated with the discussion and no alerts are defined.

I know this is not an OOTB option, or may be I am wrong, what other options are available to send notification to the author on a discussion board.

Thanks, Moss
