Summary: includes/DefaultSettings.php has two different
defaults for $wgPasswordSender
Product: MediaWiki
Version: wikimedia-deployment
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: Email
AssignedTo: [email protected]

includes/DefaultSettings.php has two different defaults for $wgPasswordSender:
a) (line 520 in 1.16):
/**
* Password reminder email address
* The address we should use as sender when a user is requesting his password
* Default to apa...@server_name
*/
$wgPasswordSender = 'MediaWiki Mail <apache@' . $wgServerName . '>';
Note: this was changed in SVN trunk r76234 to:
$wgPasswordSender = 'apache@' . $serverName;
b) (line 1720 in 1.16):
/** For email notification on page changes */
$wgPasswordSender = $wgEmergencyContact;
This is highly confusing for people who read DefaultSettings.php. Even
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgPasswordSender
has a section saying so ;-)
Please remove the first setting (it's always overriddenAFAIK) to remove that
confusion.
Bonus points if you move the second/remaining one near the definition of
$wgEmergencyContact so that it's easyer to see what the actual default value
is ;-)
