Re: Doku Wiki femail?

A user-targeted error message rendered in the frontend does not tell
anything. There are many options, only some of which I can think of:
- investigate httpd logs (if you use some sort of CGI processor, then
those), usually in <chroot-dir>/logs/
- run femail in verbose mode
- check if your specified SMTP server is reachable and whether it logs
any incoming messages

You should be aware that femail has not seen an update in over 15 years
- it is questionable whether there is any reason to use it nowadays.

In either case, you might want to attempt establishing outgoing email
delivery from the shell with mail(1) before you attempt mail delivery in
third party software (i.e. "Doku Wiki").
