In Joomla! I can configure email so it uses my Yahoo! smtp account for outbound email That works a treat for authentication and relieves me of having to understand sendmail :-)
In Mediawiki the assumption appears to be that mail is working on the host server: I can find very little documentation on the subject and what documentation there is does not directly answer my question, which is:
'how do I configure mediawiki to use a third party smtp mail service for outbound email?'
Set $wgSMTP, and make sure PEAR::Mail is installed and in the include_path.
See the doc comment in DefaultSettings.php.
