[Koha-devel] Overdue Notice problems

[Michael Hafen]

Yes, you have sendmail installed, or some software that provides a
sendmail like interface.  There should be something in '/var/spool/'
where the outgoing mail is kept until it is sent.  Possibilities include
exim, postfix, nullmailer, sendmail, and others.  If you find emails in
a folder there it means either sendmail is not running, or it is not
able to get mail off your server.  Most likely it is the later.

You mention that you are using Exchange Server for mail.  Exchange
should have an IMAP interface, but I don't know if it is running by
default.  Also you may have to configure Exchange to allow your Koha
server to send email through Exchange.

I'm not familiar with Exchange, so I can only help so much.  The lack of
replies on list makes me think others are less familiar with it also.
You may have to solve this the hard way.

Good luck.
