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

    1. 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.

Configure your wiki to use the Gmail account
