Re: [Mediawiki-l] email errors STILL

Sandy, If you still haven't resolved this, you need to make sure: 1. You have an SMTP server set up that can accept your emails - that means either a dedicated server or an email account on an SMTP server that allows you to relay messages through. You can use the build-in IIS SMTP server to do this as part of the Windows Install. HOWEVER, WARNING, WARNING, WARNING. Do not set up an SMTP server unless you know how to do it securely - otherwise you will add a whole bunch of bot spamming capability to the net that no-one (expecially you) wants. 2. Go into your php.ini file (in php program area), and make sure you have the following lines set up to reflect the SMTP server from step one: [mail function] ; For Win32 only. ; http://php.net/smtp SMTP = [URN of your SMTP server] ; http://php.net/smtp-port smtp_port = [Port allowed to access your SMTP server, usually 25 if within your DMZ] ; For Win32 only. ; http://php.net/sendmail-from ;sendmail_from = me(a)example.com ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). ; http://php.net/sendmail-path ;sendmail_path = ; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters ; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of ; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode. ;mail.force_extra_parameters = ; Add X-PHP-Originating-Script: that will include uid of the script followed by the filename mail.add_x_header = On ; The path to a log file that will log all mail() calls. Log entries include ; the full path of the script, line number, To address and headers. ;mail.log = Hope this helps. Jack
