My Ubuntu VM has email set up in a manner similar to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix
This uses the Mail::SendMail library directly, which is already part of the dependencies for Koha. Checkout the code in C4/Members.pm around line 2314 after applying the patch. The "if ( sendmail %mail )" is what actually does the emailing.
If you don't have postfix configured, then nullmailer is installed. Hopefully, that is configured correctly. I have yet to read sensible and useful documentation on it.
Some mail hosts delay sending/receiving when mail is relayed. Patience may be required while testing this.
While other parts of Koha do rely on Sendmail directly, I think Owen has a very good point. We should definitely be using the notice templates, and we should probably be using the message queue. The notice templates allow libraries to provide their own wording/translations to the message. I think that's a *must*. Using the message queue also helps Koha administrators to track the messages going out, since they might not have direct access to the MTA or mail server. Owen: I'm not sure what your testing scenario is but I noticed recently that my Koha VM's MTA is configured out of the box not to send email outside of its local domain. I don't know if that's relevant for you though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
