Where do "bounced" email messages go?
by Chris Brown 03 Jan '26

03 Jan '26

Gentle Reader Following on from my previous email about configuring outbound email in Koha, I have received several helpful replies urging me NOT to "go it alone" and set up Postfix, SPF, DKIM and DMARC but instead to use an SMTP mail relay. (I am considering a UK-based service called Arrowmail.) It looks straightforward to point Koha to a new SMTP server using the staff interface, but I have a dumb question. If the recipient replies to the messages (or the mailer generates an "undeliverable" message) where does the reply go? How do I set the From: header in the message that is generated? Thanks and Best Regards, Chris Brown

gmail account disabled - how to proceed?
by Chris Brown 31 Dec '25

31 Dec '25

Hello, First, best wishes to all for the new year. I manage a koha system that supports 7 volunteer-run libraries in Sheffield, UK. Since 2018 we have used gmail as a relay for sending overdue notifications etc. Recently, Google informed me that they have disabled the service due to violation of their terms of service. We are not sure exactly what they are unhappy about but we suspect it might be due to a high proportion of bounced messages, (We have rather too many incorrect email addresses in koha.) I would be interested to hear from anyone who has had a similar problem, and has found a solution. In particular, I would like some guidance on setting up Postfix to send out email directly (without using gmail as a relay), and setting up SPF, DKIM and DMARC. In case it is relevant, we are using koha 22.11. Thanks and Best Regards, Chris Brown

Along the same topic, I started a discussion in Bugzilla a couple of years ago that has had little traction, but more potential to prevent dinging domain reputations. Would love to have more people weigh in on it and at least find some common ground to work towards. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33633 ___________________________ Christopher Brannon IT Coordinator 702 E Front Ave Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814 (208)769-2315 Ext. 456 cbrannon(a)cdalibrary.org www.cdalibrary.org -----Original Message----- Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2025 14:51:58 +0000 From: Chris Brown <chris(a)stayawake.co.uk> To: koha <koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz> Subject: [Koha] gmail account disabled - how to proceed?

Need another source for your Koha reports? Mana is another useful tool worth looking at. While it isn't perfect, it does offer SQL users access to more resources. We'll walk through all the pros and cons of Mana in today's episode. https://youtu.be/LGnu_edDBrY Cheerfully, Christopher Brannon koha-US Admin
