Which suggests to save Class.phpmailer.php in the ''EmailArticle'' directory. The code looks like it is looking for a subdirectory of that called ''phpmailer''.

I got it going by downloading the phpmailer class and installing it as a sub directory to EmailArticle, I also noticed that the file class.phpmailer.php is twice as big in [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=26031&package_id=17494&release_id=341210 this] download as the version on [[Class.phpmailer.php|organic design]] --[[User:Sven|Sven]]

blank page, no email

I installed extension as well according to all of the instructions outlined and the extension will not send email. It goes to a blank page when I hit submit. Any suggestions email me at drclinks@gmail.com. -Mike

Is the normal mediawiki mail functionality is working such as password confirmation or watchlist changes? --Nad 00:29, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

There seems to be a bug preventing the pseudo-groups ("*" and "user") from working. I'll try and fix that soon, but in the mean time, you can set the group to "" to allow anyone, or a real group. --Nad 10:14, 20 September 2007 (NZST)
