Thread:Project:Support desk/How to enable email notification for watchlist changes by default/reply

Hi!

First upload a small PHP script to your server and try the mail function of PHP with that one. That should tell you, if sending mails works at all or if it's already broken on the level of PHP. Do you receive those mails?

For MediaWiki, first $wgEmailAuthentication must be true; otherwise $wgEmailAuthentication will be ignored. Then with $wgEmailAuthentication set to true, MediaWiki should send out mails. If $wgEmailAuthentication is false, MediaWiki will not send mails. Finally, $wgEnotifWatchlist must be true in order to get mails for watchlist changes. Do you get mails with these settings?
