Description:
When using $wgSMTP on 1.11.1, and therefore using the Pear Mail::factory class, I noticed that all pages on MediaWiki say sending the email failed, reporting:
Mailer returned: 1

But, the email goes through.

I think (but am not sure not being a PHP expert) that this is as simple as the fact that Mail->send() in the Pear object returns "true" with success, and the corresponding MediaWiki function (line 155 of UserMailer.php, in the userMailer function) returns this value, and I am guessing the code above this expects a 0 as a no-error state.

This was on CentOS, uname -a:
Linux swrepos 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP Thu Mar 15 19:57:35 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
