Hi,
It isn't that difficult to replicate php's mail function using socket
functions (see bottom of this mail), or as Joe suggested phpmailer,
which would break Dokuwiki's dependence on the php's own mail function
and allow those mail based features to operate in intallations where the
admin either doesn't have control over smtp or doesn't have the skill to
set it up.
Perhaps Joe could prepare an article or patch set on switching from mail
to phpmailer. :)
Dokuwiki only calls mail() in two places, so even if the main code base
isn't changed instructions on using another mechanism shouldn't be too
complex.
fwiw, I use ssmtp. Its installation/configuration couldn't be simpler.
And if you run a linux server having some form of mail transport is
useful for a lot of other things besides dokuwiki (e.g. cron jobs).

A simple mail function using sockets - I can't remember the source
function SendMail($ToName, $ToEmail, $FromName, $FromEmail, $Subject,
$Body, $Header)
{
$SMTP = fsockopen("smtp.sitename.com", 25);
$InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024);
fputs($SMTP, "HELO sitename.com\n");
$InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024);
fputs($SMTP, "MAIL From: $FromEmail\n");
$InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024);
fputs($SMTP, "RCPT To: $ToEmail\n");
$InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024);
fputs($SMTP, "DATA\n");
$InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024);
fputs($SMTP, "$Header");
fputs($SMTP, "From: $FromName <$FromEmail>\n");
fputs($SMTP, "To: $ToName <$ToEmail>\n");
fputs($SMTP, "Subject: $Subject\n\n");
fputs($SMTP, "$Body\r\n.\r\n");
fputs($SMTP, "QUIT\n");
$InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024);
fclose($SMTP);
}
