New subject: [Mediawiki-l] Email setup

30 May 2006


      My setup is as follows:
1) Yes you do need the PEAR thing. I'm running Gentoo so it was a simple
"emerge PEAR-Net_SMTP", and everything just dropped into the right
place.
2) My $wgSMTP is as follows:
$wgSMTP = array {
    		"host" => 'myMailServer',
    		"IDHost" => 'mycompany.com',
    		"port" => "25",
    		"auth" => false
    };
In my situation I have a Linux machine running within a Windows network.
The mail server is a Microsoft mail server, myMailServer - the names
have been changed to protect the innocent, so I just pointed wgSMTP at
it. I don't need to log in to send email hence "auth" is false. If you
do need to log in then you have to provide a user name and password.
3) That's it.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Email setup
Hi,
I'm trying to setup Wiki 1.6.X to use email notification.
In my LocalSettings file:
$wgEnableEmail = true;
$wgEnableUserEmail = true;
$wgEmergencyContact = "wiki@castortech.com";
$wgPasswordSender	= "wiki@castortech.com";
$wgSMTP is giving me problems.
I checked: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:%24wgSMTP but 
I'm not sure how to set it up.
Do I need that PEAR thing?
I use an external SMTP server with my backup app and I only 
had to tell it the name and port of the server.
Do I only need host and port or everything? And Must I keep 
the "" where they are?
$wgSMTP = array(
 'host'     => "localhost",
 'IDHost'   => "domain for MessageID",
 'port'     => 25,
 'auth'     => false,
 'username' => "my_user_name",
 'password' => "my_password"
);
Thanks!
Simon
