I have to say .. no it isn't necessary. I have sent a message off to
our linux guy to see if he has any ideas since no one here seems to be
responding.
We move just like you did and it worked with our exchange server. The
fact that your php script works shows that your system is setup
correctly. If I get any info back from Mr Linux I will let you know.

Hi,
No, there is no wgsmtp setting in my localsettings.php
Does this has to do something with smtp authentication?
Bcs, the linux server on which MW is running don't have a mail server.
Our mail server is Exchange server.
I wrote a small script as follows:
<?php
$email="jackec(a)suntecgroup.com".com";
$send=mail($email,"Test","Hello Jack");
if ($send) {
echo "Mail sent";
}
else {
echo "Error";
}
?>
When I call this, I'm getting the message "Mail sent", but no mail
actually reaches-both on Windows and Linux. (I'm not a programmer. So
not sure, whether the script itself is wrong :) )
Regards,
Jack

I'm using MW 193. I first set it up on Winodws and
then ported to
Linux. In windows, the users were getting notification emails when a
watching page is changed. 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.
