Hi Eric, thanks for the tip. I changed the settings and now I get the following error message when I hit the "Email password button":

Login error: Error sending mail: Failed to connect to localhost:25 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. (code: -1, response: )]

I think that means that the smtp server is not running correctly. I am using the Microsoft internal smtp server included in IIS 5. I set it up to allow connections from the localhost and allow relay but I still get the error message. I also installed Mercury mail in order to test another mail server but I had the same problem. Do you have an idea what the problem is ? Thanks again!!

Hi all,

I installed Mediawiki in a LAN environment. I specified the internal Microsoft smtp server in the "php.ini" to send out emails. However, the mails were not sent out although the local smtp server is listening on port 25. I do not really know what the problem is and would appreciate any help.

The computer is directly connected to a router and has an internal IP (192.168.x.x). The Wiki is running on Apache 2 on port 8080. The smtp server is listening on port 25 (IIS 5).

Thanks for your help.
