How do I get the email notifications to relay to the mail server? I’ve tried it with sendmail configured on the Koha machine. I can deliver to local users. I’m trying to understand MX entries, relays, and wondering if I have to set up a DNS server. I do have all the machines figured to static IP addresses and host names. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any pointers in the right direction? A recent thread seemed to be solved with Postfix, but not knowing the network configuration, I’m not sure what’s next. One suggestion was nullmailer. Perhaps it’s just that sendmail is so challenging in its setup. I have had experience with sendmail and that’s why I’ve tried it first.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In many respects this may be off topic, but considering that Koha is available as a turn-key solution, it seems that a little more clarity on what else is needed to configure to enable it to use full functionality, much like the documentation is clear on how to set up the MySQL database, and then you can forget about it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for all the help.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Marion<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
