[pmwiki-users] Notify on windows

[Sameer Kumar]

<snip>

 

PmWiki uses the PHP mail function which in turn needs to use an SMTP 

server to send mail. You may need to add the following to your  config
file:

 

            ## set the PHP mail server variable

            ini_set('SMTP','192.168.x.xxx');

 

... but put in the IP address of your mail server.

 

If your Exchange server requires SMTP AUTH, you probably need to do more


- but it is beyond the scope of my knowledge.

 

Thank you, Neil. I have set these values directly in the php.ini file. I
have actually checked that the mail() function works. I have recd emails
sent by the function.

 

To check if Notify works, set the following config file variables to 

small values,  make some changes, and wait for the mail.

 

            $NotifySquelch = 3600;  # require 60+ minutes between mails

            $NotifyDelay = 300;    # send mail 5+ min after first post

 

Don't forget to set them back to reasonable values after testing.

 

I have created the SiteAdmin.NotifyList page with
"notify=myemail at mydomain.com" with my email address.

 

I have followed your suggestion and set these values for Squelch and
Delay at even lower levels, as follows:

#  Enable notification

$Enablenotify = 1;  

$NotifySquelch = 360;  # require 6+ minutes between mails

$NotifyDelay = 60;    # send mail 1+ min after first post

 

But I have not recd any notification from Pmwiki as yet. Do I HAVE to
set the SMTP etc values in Pmwiki Config file also?

Any suggestions??
