In order for MediaWiki to use email (confirmations, notifications, Special:Emailuser), you'll need to configure it to use a mail server.
I've done this through Gmail here. (Any email you get from this server is being sent by the.nerd.mage@gmail.com)
Create & configure a Gmail account for your wiki
- Head over to Gmail
- If you already use Gmail, you'll probably find yourself already signed in...
- If this is the case, click your profile link (top right corner) & select Add another account.
- If not, follow the directions to create an account.
- Follow these directions to set up an App Password for MediaWiki to use the account.
