Sending email functional again!

After many failed attempts by a few of us at finding the reason our email-sending had stopped working, User:Epte checked out the problem and determined that outgoing traffic on port 25 was being blocked by our hosting provider, GoDaddy. I did some research based on this information and found that we need to refer our SMTP traffic to one of their servers - I used k2smtpout.secureserver.net which has solved the problem. This problem would have started after we debianised the server from its original Red Hat configuration.

  • See Talk:Setup email for more details.
  • email-article.php is the code which composes and sends the messages.
  • Also the email article form has been upgraded to allow wikitext, and starts with default content of article title and source URL.
