Email addresses are for the endpoints of the message. The mailservers in the middle do not use email addresses to relay messages. You can see this by reading the headers in a message, like the one from your post:<br><div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><pre style="word-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; ">Received: from <a href="http://mail-yw0-f44.google.com">mail-yw0-f44.google.com</a> (<a href="http://mail-yw0-f44.google.com">mail-yw0-f44.google.com</a> [209.85.213.44])

The reply-to or sender address that Koha builds into the message is arbitrary and does not necessarily have to relate to means of delivery or server of origin. The only restriction would be whether your mailserver would accept the message to relay. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The remaining problem is not directly related to Koha at all, and is just mail server administration, so you would have the best chance of getting help via postfix resources or community members. </div>

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.<div>

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.<br><br>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: <a href="http://overdue_notices.pl" target="_blank">overdue_notices.pl</a>, <a href="http://advance_notices.pl" target="_blank">advance_notices.pl</a>, and <a href="http://process_message_queue.pl" target="_blank">process_message_queue.pl</a>. These are in the crontab.example.<br>

Hello all.<div><br></div><div>I have been running koha in my server for about 10 libraries. Each of them have a different public IP for accesssing.</div><div><br></div><div>What are the things that I need inorder to use the mail functionality for sending overdue notices and other related functions?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is there some step by step guide for it?</div><div><br></div><div>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?</div>
