Use Postfix instead of Sendmail - MUCH easier to configure. It'll likely
work right out of the box. Took me a day to get sendmail working on one
machine, and about 10 seconds to get Postfix working on another.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] emailing forgotten passwords
So I'm running MediaWiki 1.4.7. My users have been wanting to use the "I
forgot my password so email it to me" button when they forget their
password... unfortunately, it does not work! No erroring, just a message
that claims a message was sent.
Sendmail wasn't even installed on my machine until someone let me know
they were trying to use this feature. I promptly installed sendmail, and
set about looking for some setting or variable in the php to enable the
use of the newly-installed sendmail.
I'm confused. An adventure in searching through
meta.wikimedia.org was
fruitless.
Thanks for the help!
