I'm using Mediawiki 1.12 in a chroot'ed environment. I'm used to use mini_sendmail in those environments but without luck with mediawiki:

UserMailer::send: sending mail to Abcdef helmut@domain.tld Sending mail via internal mail() function Error sending mail

What do I need to use either sendmail to send mails from mediawiki or to use the "internal mail() function"? Is it phpmailer? Can I rise the debug output to get more information?

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSMTP and copy all PEAR files into the jail. If one has a solution using sendmail I'd be pleased to hear about.

One time I hacked up UserMailer.php (from 1.9.3) to deal with a restrictive environment. Use with caution:

% diff mediawiki-1.9.3/includes/UserMailer.php UserMailer-hacked.php 87c87 < require_once( 'Mail.php' ); ---

          //  local edit - require_once( 'Mail.php' );

106c106 < $mail_object =& Mail::factory('smtp', $wgSMTP); ---

          /* local edit - $mail_object =& Mail::factory('smtp', $wgSMTP);

110c110,129 < } ---

          } */

          // wfDebug( "Sending mail via PEAR::Mail to $dest\n" );
          wfDebug( "Sending mail via phpmailer to $dest\n" );
          // $mailResult =& $mail_object->send($dest, $headers, $body);
          require("c:\php\includes\class.phpmailer.php");
          $mail = new PHPMailer();
          $mail->IsSMTP();
          $mail->Host = "SOMEHOST";
          $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
          $mail->Username = "SOMEUSERNAME";
          $mail->Password = "SOMEPASSWORD";
          $mail->From = "SOMEEMAIL";
          $mail->FromName = "SOMEFROMNAME";
          $mail->AddReplyTo("SOMEEMAIL");
          $mail->AddAddress($dest);
          // $mail->IsHTML(true);
          $mail->Subject = $headers['Subject'];
          $mail->Body = $body;
          $mail->Send();

112,113c131,132 < wfDebug( "Sending mail via PEAR::Mail to $dest\n" ); < $mailResult =& $mail_object->send($dest, $headers, $body); ---

          // just return true for now
          return '';
