Hello!
My installer is having difficulty enabling system email. Is there a good guide for setting up SMTP on Debian LINUX that someone can point me to?
Not quite sure what you mean. "Installer" as in Koha's installer? Or the deb package? And you are having trouble get up the system's email up and running? Or the difficulty is in getting Koha use the system's email which is already configured and working? Debian typically used exim4 as the SMTP agent. For configuring exim4, please go through #8.4.3 on http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch08s05.html.en You can also see http://wiki.debian.org/GmailAndExim4 You may need to run "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config" to change the exim4 settings. If you use an external server to send mail, (like google), you will need to add the authentication details in /etc/exim4/passwd.client Once done, you can test whether the kohaadmin on the system can send out mails. Next step will be to make Koha to use the kohaadmin's mail settings to send out mails. There is also a file somewhere in /usr/share/koha/cronjobs/CONFIGURE.gmail But I will prefer NOT to use sendmail on debian, since exim4 is default there. -- Mahesh T.
