Hi,
My Wiki was meant to send me an email confirmation but when I went to Special:ConfirmEmail and I got it to send me a confirmation email and it returned this error on the page:
Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()
How do I overcome this error?
Thanks for your time, Brenton
You need to configure your outbound mail server.

I figured I needed to configure the server I just don't know how. That's why I'm asking. I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff.

It works (namely instructions here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSMTP) for just my email, I was hoping to enable email confirmation for other users, without having to manually add all their email addresses to localsettings.php. Btw which of my previous questions do you think I could get the answer from Google? Because if you have an answer for them I'd like to hear it.

Do you have a mail server configured for your domain?
as for google, a 30 second search from https://www.google.com/search?num=100&site=&source=hp&q=mediawik... shows:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings#Email_settings
which leads to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSMTP
where you can tie it into your current mail server, or use an outside client like gmail (if the volume of mail is low enough)
