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.
