if you are using a remote SMTP server, you may wish for the wiki to identify itself with a resolvable hostname instead of localhost. This is set in the $wgSMTP array localhost parameter:

$wgSMTP = array(
 "host" => 'smtp.example.com', 
 "IDHost" => 'example.com', 
 "localhost" => 'mywiki.example.com',
 "port" => "25",
 "auth" => true/false,
 "username" => user,
 "password" => password
);


Some mail servers will reject with "Helo command rejected: Host not found". For example postfix with smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_unknown_helo_hostname --erikvw 07:52, 23 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
