Hi,
I am running into an issue with email authentication. When a new user account is created, I get the following message :
Error sending mail: mailer error
at this point no confirmation email is sent. Any ideas what could be causing this?
I am running:
MediaWiki 1.15.1 PHP 5.2.11 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.1.42
Thank you. Alex Shapovalov

Aloha, you will have to set up a mail-server or mail-transfer-agent on your local system. Or you use another mail-server via smtp. Then you will have to add some lines to your localsettings.php. For Example:
$wgSMTP = array( 'host' => "HOSTNAME OR IP-ADDRESS", //could also be an IP address 'IDHost' => "YOUR MAIL DOMAIN", 'port' => 25, 'auth' => false, 'username' => "USERNAME FOR SMTP", 'password' => "*********" ); Note: On some mail-servers you have to configure the addresses or hosts from wich it will accept smtp-connections.
Good Luck
