What is the difference between the way e-mails are sent for new passwords vs. the way they are sent for modification notifications? The latter are being sent successfully while the former always bounce. Here is a line showing the bounce from the mail log: .... Oct 13 14:35:16 ascari postfix/smtp[5305]: 8141C3BA035: to=someone@mycompany.com, relay=mycompany.com[74.220.207.117]:25, delay=1, delays=0.03/0/0.68/0.3, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host mycompany.com[74.220.207..117] said: 550 Administrative prohibition (in reply to end of DATA command)) ....
FYI, a simple php mail() command is successful, so that works too. We are running MediaWiki 1.11.2-2 on Ubuntu 7.10.
Thanks in advance,
Tonnis

I believe until recently, password mails were sent with a from address of $wgPasswordSender while notification mails were sent from $wgEmergencyContact.
(As of 1.13, they're both sent from $wgPasswordSender.)
Check if the two addresses are set differently in your LocalSettings.php; it may be that one of them is forbidden by your mailer configuration; alternatively there might be something funny about the content of the mails.

(Changed the email address used for this list.)
Both values are exactly the same in my LocalSettings.php. What else should I be checking?
Thanks
