My MediaWiki-powered site suddenly stopped sending any transactional email, so new users never receive their confirmation message and cannot activate their accounts. I have already verified that basic server mail services are running, yet “Emails not being sent” persists inside MediaWiki itself. On top of restoring reliable email delivery, I want you to trace why “No confirmation email” appears during user registration, correct the root cause, and test the full sign-up flow end-to-end. While you are in the codebase, please examine our current MediaWiki version, compare it with the latest stable release, and advise whether an upgrade is required for security or compatibility. If an update makes sense, outline any server or extension prerequisites so we can schedule the upgrade smoothly. Deliverables: • Functional outgoing email from MediaWiki (SMTP or sendmail, your choice, fully tested) • Working registration process with confirmation emails reaching inboxes, not spam • Report on required MediaWiki version update, including compatibility notes and step-by-step upgrade plan (or implementation if time allows) Access to the VPS, cPanel/SSH, and current [login to view URL] will be provided immediately. Please bring experience with MediaWiki core, PHP-mailer configuration, and Linux server diagnostics so we can get the site fully operational again without downtime.

Hello, I’m Mohit, a PHP developer with 9+ years of experience managing MediaWiki installations, server diagnostics, and email configurations. I specialize in resolving transactional email issues and ensuring fully functional user registration flows. Website Portfolio:- ➽[login to view URL] ➽[login to view URL] ➽[login to view URL] ➽[login to view URL] ➽[login to view URL] ➽[login to view URL] Approach: I will first troubleshoot your MediaWiki setup to identify why confirmation emails aren’t sent, checking [login to view URL], PHP mail settings, and SMTP/sendmail configurations. I will restore reliable outgoing email delivery, ensuring registration emails reach inboxes without being flagged as spam. I will test the full sign-up flow end-to-end to confirm functionality. I will review your current MediaWiki version, compare it with the latest stable release, and provide recommendations for security and compatibility updates, including server and extension prerequisites for a smooth upgrade.
