Default mailer that comes with SL6 is postfix, not sendmail. Check the startup logs to be sure that it started right.

Mediawiki does not allow users I create to login and go to a settings page to change their password. The only way users can change passwords is to click the lost password link and have Mediawiki email them a new password. However, email does not work. I downloaded sendmail but still no luck. I also tried to send a simple email from the command line via sendmail, still no luck I'm pretty well versed in basic Linux admin tasks but when it comes to sendmail, mailx, etc I'm a complete noobie. Any help on setting up the mail (and getting it to play nice with mediawiki) would be much appreciated Thanks in advance... /Kevin
