268 +Having a reachable SMTP server that your XWiki instance can use may come in handy, at some point.
269 +The most obvious example of this is when you forget your XWiki user's password. When this happens, you will not be able to login anymore and, if this was the password for your administrator account, then, you're out of luck.
