Manual talk:$wgSMTP

Не работает отсылка почты. В установленном у меня же vbulletin, php mail function используется и работает на ура, здесь же в wiki 1.6.8. при дефолтной настройке $wgSMTP = false; ничего не отправляется, у клиента пишет ... Невозможно отправить письмо с запросом на подтверждение. Проверьте правильность адреса электронной почты.

''Translated (Poorly, but efficiently):
 * There is sending mail. In accordance with this I use vbulletin, php mail function is used so painlessly, here in wiki 1.6.8. default when setting $wgSMTP = false; nothing is sent, the client said ... Unable to send a letter asking for verification. Check that the e-mail addresses are correct.

IDHost causing problems
It appears that the MediaWiki code in includes/UserMailer.php is using the IDHost property to generate the email message id (in email headers).

Please note that IDHost is not a property documented at http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.factory.php making it confusing that the code would count on it being present in $wgSMTP.

I recommend that either this documentation makes a special note that IDHost should be set for MediaWiki and is not a documented option for PEAR Mail, or providing an acceptable default such as automatically detecting the domain from other $wgSMTP options or the system hostname.

Usage, this usage needs to be confirmed!
This can be used to setup access to your mail server. Say, when you have trouble sending mails you may get strange messages - like this: Rückmeldung des Mailservers: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/Paris' for '2.0/DST' instead (sorry for the odd way of formating this, I dont know how to do this right) (Speciel:Confirmemail) Asset

Warning
How strange it is that we need configure this setting in default_setting, not only overwritting it in local_setting!
