:::The article re email problems is [[Setup email]]. It doesn't need anything fancy, it just needs to be able to send email - usually our Debian installs come with exim4 which works fine, but it somehow broke on the wikiexpert server, we couldn't fix it, tried changing to postfix but no go, now it's back to exim4, but won't work. It means that mail can't be sent from PHP/MediaWiki so we can't send articles to maillist, or notify of talk page changes etc --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 20:30, 29 Jan 2007 (NZST) | :::The article re email problems is [[Setup email]].

Bid for working mail
Epte's questions
- please give me a bid for getting email to work on wikiexpert.com just as it did on div0.com (phalseid)
- "As it did on div0.com" ... Could you be more specific? How exactly do you want it to work? What exactly isn't working? Epte 19:37, 29 Jan 2007 (NZST)
erich: please see Setup_email and and document in that talk page.
- this Div0 article works, whereas this Wikiexpert article does not
- The article re email problems is Setup email.

- this Div0 article works, whereas this Wikiexpert article does not
- Email-article.php we use this as a data event.
Epte's understanding (please confirm)
- the mail server is installed but not configured correctly such that:
- PHP's mail() function isn't sending mail
- others?
maybe xmlwiki has some coding that needs to happen. Something about headersperhaps DNS/ MX record ... something- From what I see, mail doesn't need to be incoming, just outgoing, and that postfix is the preferred mail server.
- sending is more important for now, i want to be able to email to articles later. --Phalseid 20:25, 29 Jan 2007 (NZST)
