Dear all,
Sorry for this help-asking email, I am just new here, and if this email is not appropriate her please tell me where I should go.
I am just setting up a mediawiki on a linux server (both mediawiki and linux are new to me), and have met a few problems. Now I want to enable the email notification, let new users can confirm through email. I just following this page:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSMTP
to add the following lines into mediawiki/includes/DefaultSettings.php:
*$wgSMTP = array(* * 'host' => "smtp.ym.163.com http://smtp.ym.163.com", // could also be an IP address. Where the SMTP server is located* * 'IDHost' => "ym.163.com http://ym.163.com", // Generally this will be the domain name of your website (aka mywiki.org http://mywiki.org)* * 'port' => 25, // Port to use when connecting to the SMTP server* * 'auth' => true, // Should we use SMTP authentication (true or false)* * 'username' => "admin@createfuture.cn admin@createfuture.cn", // Username to use for SMTP authentication (if being used)* * 'password' => "XXXXXXXX" // Password to use for SMTP authentication (if being used)* *);*
which ym.163.com is providing enterprise email service for free, support other domain name like what i put there.
After this, i visit my mediawiki through Chrome, go to Preference page, at the bottom of page there is a Email confirmation box in red, click "Confirm your email address", then and then, the webpage shows the following message:
*CreateFuture's Wiki could not send your confirmation mail. Please check your email address for invalid characters.*
*Mailer returned: Failed to set sender: apache@192.168.6.110 apache@192.168.6.110 [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: 501, response: 5.1.7 Bad sender address syntax)]*
I have googled it for a very long time, but didn't get anything useful. Is there anybody can help me to solve this problem? Or direct my which manual or mediawiki help page I should read? Many thanks!
Best regards,
