Mail can't be sent using the mail() function. We need to use a some mailer package that sends via SMTP instead. This will also require a new configuration setting to specify the SMTP relay that will be processing our mail messages.
This could be as easy as putting phpmailer back into the project via composer and using it. I had it in at one point and then ripped it out when I got rid of the bulk mailing admin pages.

Mail() is no longer being used but I'm having a hard time finding an SMTP relay to test with in labs that will allow full verification. "The following From address failed: wikimania-scholarships@wikimedia.org : Called MAIL FROM without being connected"
Installed postfix on scholarships-alpha to test smtp sending.
