Dear all,

Sorry for this help-asking email, I am just new here, and if this email is
not appropriate her please tell me where I should go.

I am just setting up a mediawiki on a linux server (both mediawiki and
linux are new to me), and have met a few problems. Now I want to enable the
email notification, let new users can confirm through email. I just
following this page:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSMTP

to add the following lines into mediawiki/includes/DefaultSettings.php:

*$wgSMTP = array(*
* 'host'     => "smtp.ym.163.com <http://smtp.ym.163.com>", // could also
be an IP address. Where the SMTP server is located*
* 'IDHost'   => "ym.163.com <http://ym.163.com>",      // Generally this
will be the domain name of your website (aka mywiki.org
<http://mywiki.org>)*
* 'port'     => 25,                 // Port to use when connecting to the
SMTP server*
* 'auth'     => true,               // Should we use SMTP authentication
(true or false)*
* 'username' => "[email protected] <[email protected]>",     //
Username to use for SMTP authentication (if being used)*
* 'password' => "XXXXXXXX"       // Password to use for SMTP authentication
(if being used)*
*);*

which ym.163.com is providing enterprise email service for free, support
other domain name like what i put there.

After this, i visit my mediawiki through Chrome, go to Preference page, at
the bottom of page there is a Email confirmation box in red, click "Confirm
your email address", then and then, the webpage shows the following message:

*CreateFuture's Wiki could not send your confirmation mail. Please check
your email address for invalid characters.*

*Mailer returned: Failed to set sender: [email protected]
<[email protected]> [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server
(code: 501, response: 5.1.7 Bad sender address syntax)]*

I have googled it for a very long time, but didn't get anything useful. Is
there anybody can help me to solve this problem? Or direct my which manual
or mediawiki help page I should read? Many thanks!

Best regards,

Grammy Jiang
