Hello!

I just finished installing a fresh MediaWiki.


Every time I try to get my email confirmed, I get the following message:

... could not send your confirmation mail. Please check your email address for invalid characters.

Mailer returned: Unknown error in PHP's mail() function.


Email address is correct.

Enabled logs but no luck there. No file was created.

Any help is welcome!


System info:

MediaWiki 1.34.0
PHP 7.4.3 (fpm-fcgi)
MySQL 5.6.40-84.0-log
ICU 50.2
pear/mail 1.4.1 BSD-2-Clause
pear/mail_mime 1.10.2 BSD-3-clause
pear/net_smtp 1.8.1 BSD-2-Clause

check that the server has an mta installed (eg sendmail, qmail, etc) and configured correctly.

Or just use manual:$wgSMTP instead
