But in the production version in linux, that's not happening. There are some other programmes (like Moodle) in the same server which has some mail notification features and they are working correctly. So I believe, the PHP mail is working fine.

Were you previously using PEAR::Mail, which would be the case if
$wgSMTP has been defined in LocalSettings.php? This is a common setup
under Windows, since PHP's mail() function outright sucks on that
platform, but it's not usually needed under Linux, where PHP and the
mail transfer agent work together pretty well.

If $wgSMTP is present in LocalSettings.php, comment it out and see if
it makes a difference.
