Details

Set to true to enable the basic email features: Password reminders, etc.

Please note that some hosting providers (for example Hostmonster) seem to check that the "From:" and "Return-Path:" are genuine, to prevent spammers from using their accounts.

So if you want to enable this feature, you will need to:

• Find out what the correct sender is, e.g. by visiting a PHP page containing the following code and checking the message you receive

<?php
mail("my.private.address@example.com","My subject","My message body");
?>

• Let's assume the email at the previous point came through from "myHostmonsterAccountName@myHost.example.com". You'll need to change the following variables in LocalSettings.php:

$wgEmergencyContact = "exampleAccountName@myHost.example.com";
$wgPasswordSender   = "exampleAccountName@myHost.example.com";

If sending email on your server doesn't work, you might want to try this work-around, or just disable this feature, i.e. set $wgEnableEmail to false.

MediaWiki email is almost certainly not going to work out-of-the-box on Windows servers, and it may require additional configuration on Linux servers.

See Manual:$wgSMTP for information on how to configure the sending of email.

Disable email

To disable email, in localsettings.php, change the default:

$wgEnableEmail = true;

to

$wgEnableEmail = false;
