This might be a silly idea, but... are you completely sure you're running the 1.11.0 maintenance script, and not the one from your previous MediaWiki install? I made that mistake. I was in the wrong folder when I ran update.php....

Hello, I have recently migrated a MW install from Windows to Linux, and I'm having some trouble getting system-generated emails to work. First some versions: Ubuntu Linux 7.04 (I have root access) MediaWiki 1.11.0 Apache 2.2.3 PHP 5.2.1 Sendmail 8.13.8 MySQL 5.0.38 Everything else is working... file uploads, ImageMagick, texvc, short URLs, ParserFunctions, CharInsert, maintenance scripts, all working fine. When I try to generate a system email by clicking "Email password", for example, the page responds successfully, saying the email was sent. However, the message is never received, and I found the following error message in /var/log/mail.log: Sep 17 11:11:52 justin-ubuntu sendmail[11580]: l8HFBqnM011580: from=www-data, size=649, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=&lt;200709171511.l8HFBqnM011580(a)justin-ubuntu.d2systems&gt;ms>, relay=www-data@localhost Sep 17 11:11:56 justin-ubuntu sendmail[11580]: l8HFBqnM011580: to=Jmorgan &lt;jmorgan(a)d2hawkeye.com&gt;om>, ctladdr=www-data (33/33), delay=00:00:04, xdelay=00:00:04, mailer=relay, pri=30649, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection timed out with [127.0.0.1] MW appears to be generating the email and sending it off to Sendmail, but Sendmail is not processing it correctly.

No, the PHP mail() function causes the same error in the mail.log file.

Figured it out. It was an iptables problem (argh). I had TCP port 25 open to localhost, and that worked for telnet mail generation, but apparently that's not good enough for PHP mail(). Opening the entire loopback interface did the trick: sudo iptables -A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT Thanks for your help. =) -Justin -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Dave Sigafoos Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 4:00 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Sendmail error I think if you search the archives you will find information on setting up email on your server.
