[pmwiki-users] Farm Testing -- reflect a field across the farm

[Sivakatirswami]

Separate question:

what does

" pmwiki (include of pmwiki mail module)"

mean?

I see the MailPosts documentation, but there is no mentioned of a 
subdirectory or module??

Do I need the latter to make MailPost for wiki update notifications 
work?
