Mediawiki: Error sending mail

I'm absolutely new to MediaWiki. I've installed it, set up smtp settings and trying to create a new user with sending him a password by email. But I'm getting the following error:

Account creation error Error sending mail: Validation failed for: =?UTF-8?Q?=D0=92=D0=B8=D0=BA=D0=B8=20=D0=BC=D1=83=D0=B6=D1=81=D0=BA=D0=BE=D0=B3=D0=BE=20=D1=85=D1=80=D0=B8=D1=81=D1=82=D0=B8=D0=B0=D0=BD=D1=81=D0=BA=D0=BE=D0=B3=D0=BE=20=D1=81=D0=BE=D0=BE=D0=B1=D1=89=D0=B5=D1=81=D1=82=D0=B2=D0=B0=20"=D0=9F=D1=83=D1=82=D1=8C"?=

My email settings in LocalSettings.php are as follows:

$wgEnableEmail      = true;
$wgEnableUserEmail  = true; # UPO
$wgAllowHTMLEmail   = false;
$wgEmailAuthentication = true;
$wgEnableUserEmail = true;
$wgPasswordSender = "[email protected]";
$wgEmailAuthentication = true;
$wgEnotifUserTalk = true;
$wgEnotifWatchlist     = false; # UPO

$wgEmergencyContact = '[email protected]';
$wgPasswordSender   = '[email protected]';

$wgEmailAuthentication = true;
$wgSMTP = array(
 'host'     => "mail.domain.org",
 'IDHost'   => "domain.org",
 'port'     => 25,
 'auth'     => false,
 'username' => "[email protected],
 'password' => "password"
);

The rest of the settings is default. Also I installed PEAR's Mail package. Could please somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

It turned out that there was installed PEAR's Mail package. The package is intended for PHP 4.4.9, while I have Mediawiki 1.24 which works with PHP 5.3.2. So I tried to install PEAR's Mail2 package, which works with PHP 5.0.0. But it occurred that Mediawiki won't works with it.

The solution was to install SwiftMailer extension. Mediawiki plays perfectly with it. In fact there are talks to include that into the core of Mediawiki to handle all mailing operations. The installation guide is here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SwiftMailer
