[Koha-devel] [koha] mail configuraiton help

[Mike Hafen]

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.
