+The subscription facility is controlled using the [[config:subscribers|subscribers setting]].  It is turned **off by default**. You can turn it on in the configuration page of your wiki. Also, make sure to uncheck 'Subscribe/Unsubscribe' of disableactions in the authentication section of the configuration. The sender address is set by [[config:mailfrom|mailfrom setting]].
 Be careful in switching this facility on.  In a busy wiki, with both frequent changes and many subscribers, emailing the changes to those subscribers can put a heavy strain on the webserver.  In a public wiki it may also provide unscrupulous people with a way to send spam to your wiki's users.
