Dear MediaWiki community,
I'm trying to install a MediaWiki instance. Although I never worked with
MediaWiki before, I feel quite comfortable with server issues (*nix) and
PHP.
I'd like to have mail support in the MW instance. Unfortunately I cannot
rely on sendmail (or even mini_sendmail) binary in my installation for
several reasons - both requiring a shell binary.
It seems, it's possible to replace original PHP's mail() command by an
alternate mailer program.
a) Is includes/UserMailer.php the main and only spot where mail
functionality code can be spotted?
b) I read about hooks in mailer class code (line 288 of
https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/php/html/UserMailer_8php_source.html):
$ret = wfRunHooks( 'AlternateUserMailer', array( $headers, $to, $from,
$subject, $body ) );
Is this hook meant to replace the original mail program?
c) Did anyone replace original mailing code by PHPMailer yet?
d) Or is it easier to just use PEAR::Mail instead of PHPMailer (there
seemed to be some code about PEAR in it)?
Thank you for reading,
Matthias
