Hello,
I have recently migrated a MW install from Windows to Linux, and I'm having some trouble getting system-generated emails to work. First some versions:
Ubuntu Linux 7.04 (I have root access) MediaWiki 1.11.0 Apache 2.2.3 PHP 5.2.1 Sendmail 8.13.8 MySQL 5.0.38
Everything else is working... file uploads, ImageMagick, texvc, short URLs, ParserFunctions, CharInsert, maintenance scripts, all working fine.
When I try to generate a system email by clicking "Email password", for example, the page responds successfully, saying the email was sent. However, the message is never received, and I found the following error message in /var/log/mail.log:
Sep 17 11:11:52 justin-ubuntu sendmail[11580]: l8HFBqnM011580: from=www-data, size=649, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=200709171511.l8HFBqnM011580@justin-ubuntu.d2systems, relay=www-data@localhost Sep 17 11:11:56 justin-ubuntu sendmail[11580]: l8HFBqnM011580: to=Jmorgan jmorgan@d2hawkeye.com, ctladdr=www-data (33/33), delay=00:00:04, xdelay=00:00:04, mailer=relay, pri=30649, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection timed out with [127.0.0.1]
MW appears to be generating the email and sending it off to Sendmail, but Sendmail is not processing it correctly. From the console, I tried sending an email manually via the SMTP interface:
$ telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 justin-ubuntu.d2systems ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.8/Debian-3; Mon, 17 Sep 2007 13:42:07 -0400; (No UCE/UBE) logging access from: localhost(OK)-localhost [127.0.0.1] ehlo 127.0.0.1 250-justin-ubuntu.d2systems Hello localhost [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-PIPELINING 250-EXPN 250-VERB 250-8BITMIME 250-SIZE 250-DSN 250-ETRN 250-AUTH DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 250-DELIVERBY 250 HELP mail from: test@example.com 250 2.1.0 test@example.com...

The /var/log/mail.log file shows the email being sent successfully, and I receive the message in my inbox moments later. The relevant mail.log records are below:

What is happening differently with the mail triggered from MW? I am admittedly new to Sendmail, and the configuration files look very daunting.
Any help?
Thanks, -Justin
