Hello,<br><br>When trying to add a patron, i get an error screen which reads like...<br><pre><code>can't find an executable sendmail at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Letters.pm line 21<br><br>and so on.<br></code></pre>i was assuming i'd just use postfix in place of sendmail, but it looks like this module needs sendmail and only sendmail. Is that right?<br>
<br>The error disappears when i install sendmail.<br><br>i wanted to think twice before installing sendmail on my internet server, because of its known vulnerabilities. Some more information: this error appears irrespective of whether i have "AutoEmailOpacUser"<b><a href="https://209.20.87.88/cgi-bin/koha/admin/systempreferences.pl?op=add_form&searchfield=AutoEmailOpacUser" target="_blank"></a></b> preference turned on.<br>
<br>Thanks and regards,<br><font color="#888888">
