Hooks used AlternateUserMailer

The EmailLogger extension logs all outgoing emails being sent from a wiki to a CSV file on your filesystem. This is used in cases where SMTP logs are not accessible (i.e. like in AWS SES) but need to be used to audit email sending activity and potentially identify suspicious spam activity on a wiki.

Installation

• Download, extract and place the file(s) in a directory called EmailLogger in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'EmailLogger' );
  

• Configure as required.
• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration

$wgEmailLoggerLogFilePath

The path on your filesystem to log email sends to.

$wgEmailLoggerFailSilently

Whether the email should send or not if the email can't be logged. If true, email sends. If false, email does not send.
