Manual:$wgPasswordSender/pt-br

Detalhes
Password reminder email address. The address we should use as sender when a user is requesting a password. Also used as the sender address for other email notifications.

The installer automatically generates a value for this setting, and places it towards the top of LocalSettings.php. The generated value will often be nonsensical ("apache@localhost" or similar), so be sure to change $wgPasswordSender and if they are incorrect. Some SMTP servers may refuse to send the mail to the recipients if the sender address does not exist or does not match the username configured in.

1.23 onwards
In MediaWiki 1.23, has been removed (see there for more information). $wgPasswordSender however can and should still be used. After setting the email address in LocalSettings.php, you can optionally edit the wiki page MediaWiki:Emailsender to specify a "friendly name" for the password sender.

Example:

1.17 - 1.22
As of 1.17, the From: field in the email is constructed from this setting and. Therefore this setting should contain just the email address (as per the first example, above). If it is in any other format then it will mangle the From: field. Here is an example of specifying a friendly name for the password sender:

Pre 1.17
Prior to 1.17 this setting was used as the literal string to use for the From: field, therefore anything that is valid in that field is allowed here. The above example could be achieved by using a special syntax, as shown below.

The most common use-cases were:


 * Email address: "admin@example.com"
 * Email address with alternative display name: "Wiki Administrator "

Usage in DefaultSettings.php
Note that from v1.5.0 upwards, the default value in DefaultSettings.php is initially set to the same value as was used in 1.4.x (with 'Wikipedia' changed to 'MediaWiki' in v1.6.0) but this is overridden later in DefaultSettings.php where it sets it to the value of, so this initial value is never seen (hence the current default value, above). This information is largely irrelevant, but is included here because it can cause confusion if you are browsing DefaultSettings.php to check the default value.
