Enable password reminder via email
From Tuxation
Looks like MediaWiki is using either mail or sendmail program. Either way, I found it to work by just doing the following:
Install mailing software
$ sudo apt-get install ssmtp $ sudo apt-get install mailutils
Edit configuration
Here we set mailhub to point to the SMTP server on the network.
# # Config file for sSMTP sendmail # # The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000 # Make this empty to disable rewriting. root=postmaster # The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required no # MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com mailhub=xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa # Where will the mail seem to come from? #rewriteDomain= # The full hostname hostname=dens-linux # Are users allowed to set their own From: address? # YES - Allow the user to specify their own From: address # NO - Use the system generated From: address #FromLineOverride=YES
