Aloha, you will have to set up a mail-server or mail-transfer-agent on your local system. Or you use another mail-server via smtp. Then you will have to add some lines to your localsettings.php. For Example: $wgSMTP = array( 'host' => "HOSTNAME OR IP-ADDRESS", //could also be an IP address 'IDHost' => "YOUR MAIL DOMAIN", 'port' => 25, 'auth' => false, 'username' => "USERNAME FOR SMTP", 'password' => "*********" ); Note: On some mail-servers you have to configure the addresses or hosts from wich it will accept smtp-connections.
