Email Support MediaWiki can be configured to send email messages for various functions. You will need to install some additional packages:

sudo apt-get install php-pear
sudo pear install mail
sudo pear install Net_SMTP

Also, you'll need to configure the LocalSettings.php file to use your SMTP server to send out the messages, for example:

$wgEnableEmail      = true;
$wgEnableUserEmail  = true;
$wgEmergencyContact = "wikidude@mydomain.com";
$wgPasswordSender = "wikidude@mydomain.com";
$wgNoReplyAddress = "noreply@mydomain.com";
$wgPasswordSender = "password_reminder@mydomain.com";
$wgSMTP = array(
 'host'     => "ssl://smtp.gmail.com",
 'IDhost'   => "gmail.com",
 'port'     => 465,
 'auth'     => true,
 'username' => "user_name@mydomain.com",
 'password' => "user_password"
);
