Thread:Project:Support desk/emailing watched page notifications

Is there a test function or method available for sending email notifications, or step-by-step troubleshooting? I went through the LocalSettings and set my mail server settings, and email parameters, but have not been able to get an email notice after a page is changed. It would be nice if there is a page or script that sends a test message, using the settings.

My MediaWiki version is 1.16.0, PHP 5.3.6 on CentOs, and MySQL 5.5.13
