And get email working? I would like MW to require an email address from account creators, via which it sends them asking for an authentication reply before the account is created. I've been able to figure out how to require email authentication before edits are allowed, but I'd really like this to be required at account creation, and I haven't figured that out yet. More importantly :-), I don't actually have outgoing email working. This seems to require Apache configuration, at which I am woefully inadequate. If someone could give me pointers or a link to an appropriate web page, I'd appreciate it, other wise, I'll muddle through somehow :-)
