You can configure MediaWiki to use an external SMTP server, I wrote up a
set of instructions on this a while back:
http://snowulf.com/2011/08/30/configuring-mediawiki-to-use-external-smtp/
You can also take a look at the manual for $wgSMTP at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSMTP
The other option is that when you create accounts, do not do it "By Email".
Simply enter a random password (twice) and click create. Then you can
email the person on your standard mail client their username & password.

I have been working with internal wikis for a while.
We have several
wikis that we edit within our company then give the wiki to the client.
The client just searches the information and does not do any further edits.
We now have a wiki that we want to make external so I need to make sure I
am addressing everything.
As far as user groups, I have it set that everyone can read the wiki and
all login users can edit within the wiki. Only administrators can create a
new user account. We have provided an email address for people to request
authoring privileges. The server we are using for the wiki does not have a
mail server. I am assuming that we would need a mail server on the server
to have the wiki email passwords to the person. Is that true or can we set
it to use another mail server?
Thanks,
