Can someone please explain the syntax needed in local settings to set up an email confirmation and a password reminder. Mediawiki is on a localhost and accessed through local intranet. What do I need to do to set up an auto reply for user reminder and email authentication? PLease couldyou provide simple step by step instructions. Running mediawiki 1.23.6 and xampp v3.2.1. Thanks.

Manual:$wgSMTP has some examples
I have had a look, but really do not understand the guidance. Do I need to install any other software to enable emails to be sent? I am running running php v4.2.7.1. Thanks.
PHP 4.2.7.1? That shouldn't be possible.
MediaWiki requires PHP 5.3.2 or later to run. See Manual:Installation requirements
My mistake, that was phpMyAdmin!. I am running php v5.5.15
The server usually needs to have Pear-Mail installed, as explained in the $wgSMTP help page.
I installed a PostFix: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Postfix and since then all runs smoothly.
