Windows上的DokuWiki不会发送电子邮件

Question

I set up DokuWiki on a Windows 2012 Server using wampserver

It works really well, but I can't get it to see any smtp server. I set up a local server using IIS, tested it using blat. I added the following lines to the php.ini:

SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
sendmail_from [e-mail]

I also tried using the computer's domain as the server, but Doku won't send any email. Looking at Doku's wiki, I found these helpful instructions: dokuwiki email, but I always get an error that says "Looks like there was an error on sending the password mail. Please contact the admin!"

I also tried the 'fake sendmail', but it gave me the same result.

I reset Apache and IIS after changing the configs, but there was no change. There is nothing in the log files either.

As far as I can tell, this should work. Is there another config file or something else that I missed?

Thanks,

Well, just pointing PHP to localhost for a mail server won't work unless you run a mailserver there.

You have three options:

1. configure your php.ini to point to a mail server on your LAN
2. run a local Mailserver (eg. http://www.pendriveapps.com/portable-smtp-server-mini-relay/)
3. use the swiftmail plugin (https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:swiftmail) to configure DokuWiki to use some other external mailserver (eg. gMail).
