[Mediawiki-l] Email confirmation and email notification ofpassword change don't work.

[Jack Eapen C]

In my case, wiki runs on Linux. But our mail server is Exchange on
Windows server. In such a case, how can I get MW's email functions to
work?

Regards,
 
Jack

mail() didn't work when I tested it with a small php script.  Finally,
the
two steps below made my MW work :-)
--------------------------------------------
1.  Got a help from
http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-14639.html

[root at xxx public_html]# chmod g+s /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail

[root at xxx public_html]# ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail

-r-xr-sr-x 1 root smmsp 774264 May 6 2005 /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail

2. In the server, /var/spool/clientmqueue was originally owned by root.
changed owner so that sendmail can have access to
/var/spool/clientmqueue

[root at xxx public_html]# chown smmsp:smmsp /var/spool/clientmqueue/

[root at xxx public_html]# ls -al /var/spool/clientmqueue/

total 8

drwxrwx-w- 2 smmsp smmsp 4096 Aug 16 22:13 .

I appreciate you all who gave me advices and comments,
