Thread:Project:Support desk/Configuring Email with Mircosoft Exchange server

Hello,

I have MediaWiki 1.20.6 running with PHP 5.3.10 (cgi-fcgi) and MySQL 5.1.59-community under OS Windows Server 2003 R2 an would like to enable the email-features. When I want to change the email-address in my user-settings I get the

Internal Error

[3a35071f] 2013-09-03 10:52:25: Fatal exception of type MWException

When I want to confirm my email-address, I get a message that says I already got a confirmation-code -- what is incorrect. I assume, that MediaWiki can not send emails at all.

My configutration settings in LocalSettings.php are:

$wgEnableEmail = true; $wgEnableUserEmail = true; # UPO

$wgEmergencyContact = "me@mydomain.de"; $wgPasswordSender = "wiki@mydomain.de";

$wgEnotifUserTalk = true; # UPO $wgEnotifWatchlist = true; # UPO $wgEmailAuthentication = true;

$wgSMTP = array( 'host'    => "some.host.mydomain.de", 'IDHost'   => "mydomain.de", 'port'     => 25, 'auth'     => false, 'username' => "wiki@mydomain.de", 'password' => "confidential" ); Are the settings correct?

As described on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSMTP I would like to use the buit-in PHP mail function. Is this possible or do I need PEAR's Mail?

Thanks for you help, Martin
