Hi,
I'm using MW 193. I first set it up on Winodws and then ported to Linux. In windows, the users were getting notification emails when a watching page is changed. But in the production version in linux, that's not happening. There are some other programmes (like Moodle) in the same server which has some mail notification features and they are working correctly. So I believe, the PHP mail is working fine.
I checked the watchlist table and I could see against the watchlist pages, the wl_notificationtimestamp column is updated. i.e. the system seems to sending mails and they are lost e route?
Any clues to this?

This could be the way that email is set up on your server. Do the other routines on your linux box have their own email setup using smtp? Are they running out of Outlook/server?
There is a setup option for that in defaultsettings.php.
I believe it requires the use of curl. It appears from talking to our network guy that it depends on how your server is setup.
Not much help but might point you in the right direction.

Were you previously using PEAR::Mail, which would be the case if $wgSMTP has been defined in LocalSettings.php? This is a common setup under Windows, since PHP's mail() function outright sucks on that platform, but it's not usually needed under Linux, where PHP and the mail transfer agent work together pretty well.
If $wgSMTP is present in LocalSettings.php, comment it out and see if it makes a difference.
