I'll post here the important settings from my servers postfix/main.cf:

myhostname = koha.washk12.org
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = koha.washk12.org, localhost.washk12.org, localhost
relayhost = outbound.washk12.org
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all

Maybe that will help.

thanks...

I have installed postfix in my koha box...

its host name is kohamail.healthnet.org.np

when I use #mailx nitesh@healthnet.org.np

it has errors to send the mail, the log has some error messages,

moreover, how is the email address managed?

I guess it will be like "abc@kohamail.healthnet.org.np", is this kind of email address allowed?

can some one please send me the postfix configuration that I need to change in order to get mail working in my KOHA box?

that would really be a great help. I cannot find any good resource for setting up the koha mail.

regards.

You still need something to get messages from the Koha server to your other mailserver.  In all cases, the simplest way to accomplish that is w/ a mailserver on the Koha box.  It can be configured such that it doesn't connect to any other systems, but only to your other mailserver.

Thanks,

I was wondering whether it is possible to use koha server in one server and use existing mail server from another server. So, if possible, please guide me through the steps.

Regards.

Koha relies a lot on the mail functions of the server.  For example I have my server running postfix and set to send email through another mail server.

As far as Koha itself, a lot of the mail functionality runs from cron.  There are a couple perl scripts, most notably in this case the following: overdue_notices.pl, advance_notices.pl, and process_message_queue.pl.  These are in the crontab.example.

Hello all.

I have been running koha in my server for about 10 libraries. Each of them have a different public IP for accesssing.

What are the things that I need inorder to use the mail functionality for sending overdue notices and other related functions?

Is there some step by step guide for it?

We already have a mail server at some other IP address, so is it possible to use that server as mail server for koha as well or is it necessary that the machine that has koha server, should also have mail server configured in it?

Please reply.
