I have downloaded & installed the comment_notify module:
http://drupal.org/project/comment_notify

The module's Install.txt file (http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/comment_not...) mentions the following:

3. Configure the settings for comments, especially
-comment moderation on/off
-users must leave their contact info (set to yes, or optional)

However, I cannot find any options in Admin UI to specify these settings. Probably, the first of these refers to the Permissions for comments (then, why has this been mentioned in the module).
But I could not find the option to specify the second of the above settings in the entire Drupal system, including the module's own Admin interface. And this setting is important for me to specify.

Lastly, the default Subscription option added by this module on User's Account page has its default value to false. Can I change that default setting to true somehow??

1- ensure you have the comment module enabled
2- go to admin/user/permissions#module-comment there you can find permissions for "access comments", "post comments", "post comments without approval"
3- then you need to customize the content type(s) you which user to leave comments, lets say "page" for example
4- go to admin/content/node-type/page
5- expand "Comment settings" fieldset
6- the 5th group of settings is "Anonymous commenting" with 3 options: "Anonymous posters may not enter their contact information", "Anonymous posters may leave their contact information", "Anonymous posters must leave their contact information"
7- these settings will be available only if the comment module is enabled AND anonymous users are allowed to post comments (above step 2)

PS: I haven't tried comment_notify module, but if you couldn't find the places it is referring to, I guess it is referencing standard Drupal settings

I suspected that the first setting relates to Permissions for comments.

However, the second part of it is what I see as deficiency in Drupal core. Once I allow Anonymous users to post Comments, they get this option on all the Content Types available in the entire Drupal system. So, if I create a new Content type for allowing anonymous users to submit feedback about my site, they get the right to post comments even on Forums & Blog entries.

Isn't their a way available to restrict Anonymous users to post comments to selected Content types??

I guess there have to be a few modules sorting this out
maybe asking for support on the issue queue of the comment_notify module or searching the modules by yourself
