Bug ID: 52839
Summary: 24 hour Reset password lock after email sending failed
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.21.1
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Email

Hi everyone!
We had some problem with our SMTP server, so after registering a new user an
error message appeared "Error sending mail: failed to receive" (might not be
the exact phrase). Tried an other user password reminder (reset) (which failed
also).
Now the SMTP is fixed, but I cannot re-send the registration, or request
password reset for these users, because:
"A password reset email has already been sent, within the last 24 hours. To
prevent abuse, only one password reset email will be sent per 24 hours."
No! it was not sent, it tried to send it and failed (which it showed in an
error message).
Bug 1: Email lock should not be set if sending the email failed.
Even when I log in as admin, and request a reset the same message is displayed.
(Actually the first one was in Hungarian "Már elküldtünk egy jelszóemlékeztetőt
az utóbbi 24 órában. A visszaélések elkerülése végett 24 óránként csak egy
jelszó-emlékeztetőt küldünk.")
Bug 2: Admins should be allowed to request password resets without any lockouts
(be throttled).
Sorry if I should have created separate bug reports, or made some other
mistake.
Additional details that might help:
message id: 'throttled-mailpassword' in languages\messages\MessagesEn.php
(and probably 'mailerror')
Now I'm trying to remove the lock in sql, reconfigure lockout period, or remove
it temporarily from php...
Good luck to us all!
