===Confirm email feature === Any news on this? Two changes were requested for LocalSettings.php - plus the email address in LocalSettings.php needs to be checked to make sure it's valid. Currently the issue is that in User preferences using the "confirm email address" feature gives an error stating the format of the email address is wrong for all users. [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 14:10, May 27, 2019 (EDT) :As we both suspected, the email configuration problem seems to be simply due to the fact that no one ever bothered to enter the correct email addresses in $wgEmergencyContact and $wgPasswordSender! We still need to test this, though, to make sure that there isn't anything else going on... :[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 22:07, May 27, 2019 (EDT) ::Still the same error today - MEpedia could not send your confirmation mail. Please check your email address for invalid characters. Mailer returned: Unknown error in PHP's mail() function. [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 23:00, May 27, 2019 (EDT) Just tested, not working [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 13:55, May 29, 2019 (EDT) :Yeah, thereโs obviously something else going on. Perhaps we need to update our PHP mail() function with "composer require pear/mail", as described [https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:%24wgSMTP#Error_sending_mail:_Unknown_error_in_PHP's_mail()_function_MediaWiki here]. Or, we may need to set all the connection info in [https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:%24wgSMTP $wgSMTP]. :[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 15:47, May 29, 2019 (EDT) ::I checked out that link to the error, the English is terrible but I think it's talking about issues receiving the email - if the address and headers don't match (which they won't) it will sometimes end up in a spam folder. I have 2 suggestions - set '''$wgNoReplyAddress''' and change the email addresses to use a different email domain, which then should not attempt at validation, eg '''noreply@meaction-nospam.com''' for all the addresses. Wikis often use made up email addresses. SMTP settings would mean having the password in the LocalSettings.php - so really needs a dedicated account so that nobody changes the password. Also the User Email option would be better turned off I think. Or at least most of the email notification options, since it's so annoying to get a flood of notifications. [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 16:44, May 29, 2019 (EDT) :::It's working. {{collapse bottom}}
