Email sent from wikipedia seems broken
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Tried to send email to myself from hu.wikipedia.org and it did not arrive. Others reported the
same. Is the MTA broken, or someone played with firewall settings?

bzimport set Reference to bz271.
bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

More details, and a workaround: I had the same problem, and I found out that the
feature works if and only if I set a nonempty nickname in Preferences. (NB: the
nickname is _not_ used for anything related to email.)

I created an account on hu.wikipedia.org, and sending mail to myself worked,
both with and without a nickname. It also works on en, and in the latest CVS
branches of MediaWiki. Is this still reproducible?

Word on MediaWiki-General is that this was a server configuration issue, and it should
be fixed now (thanks Kate).
