Configuring SMTP support on MediaWiki is actually quite easy!

== Prerequisites ==

Make sure that you have php-pear installed first (for any version, really):
<source lang="bash">
apt-get install php-pear
</source>
Then make sure the following dependencies are installed (through php-pear):
<source lang="bash">
pear install mail
pear install Net_SMTP
pear install Auth_SASL
pear install mail_mime
</source>
Finally, restart apache2:
<source lang="bash">service apache2 restart</source>

== Configuration ==

Now, go into the MediaWiki root directory and look for your '''LocalSettings.php''', and add the following array:
<source lang="php"> $wgSMTP = array(
'host' => "mail.example.com", // could also be an IP address. Where the SMTP server is located
'IDHost' => "example.com", // Generally this will be the domain name of your website (aka mywiki.org)
'port' => 25, // Port to use when connecting to the SMTP server
'auth' => true, // Should we use SMTP authentication (true or false)
'username' => "my_user_name", // Username to use for SMTP authentication (if being used)
'password' => "my_password" // Password to use for SMTP authentication (if being used)
);
</source>

Follow the comments directions and you should be good to go! Keep in mind that you might have to review firewall entries and other things if you have issues.
