[koha] mail configuraiton help
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. Regards. -- Nitesh Rijal BE IT rijal.it@gmail.com http://niteshrijal.com.np http://facebook.com/openrijal http://twitter.com/openrijal +9779841458173
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. 2010/9/29 Nitesh Rijal <rijal.it@gmail.com>

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. On Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 8:05 PM, Mike Hafen <mdhafen@tech.washk12.org>wrote:

I'm afraid I can't help much. I have set my server with the postfix mail package, and set relayhost to outbound.washk12.org. C4::Letters uses the Mail::Sendmail module, which uses the mail package installed on the server (postfix in my case, which provides a sendmail like wrapper). What I can't help with is how outbound is setup. It is in dns with spf and mx entries, and it had to be set to allow relaying for my server. That was all done by one of my coworkers. Maybe someone else on the list can provide further information. On Fri, Oct 1, 2010 at 5:28 AM, Nitesh Rijal <rijal.it@gmail.com> wrote:

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. --Joe 2010/10/1 Nitesh Rijal <rijal.it@gmail.com>

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. On Fri, Oct 1, 2010 at 9:10 PM, Joe Atzberger <ohiocore@gmail.com> wrote:

Try nullmailer. Its really simple to setup. Runs in localhost, and uses an external server for delivery. To+
