Update: I have installed and configured postfix on my machine and tested it using: echo "This is the body of the email" | mail -s "This is the subject line" user@example.com So I know it's well configured and my server is able to send mails. However, Koha still doesn't send any e-mail when I manually add a new patron. NOTE: 1) AutoEmailOpacUser is set to "send" in administration -> patrons; 2) All cronjobs were left as default. I also know they are running because my new records get indexed every 5 minutes. 2015-10-30 12:28 GMT-01:00 Pedro Amorim <pjamorim91@gmail.com>:
Hello,
I want to configure an smtp server so that Koha can use it to send e-mail notifications. I was expecting some sort of configuration file where I would configure the server, username, password and some other parameters but that is not the case.
From my research I found 2 possible ways: 1) Editting /usr/share/perl5/Mail/Sendmail.pm file and inserting the smtp server at the top of the file, but where do I insert the smtp credentials (user/pass) in that same file? or 2) Through some postfix configuration which I really would like to avoid.
Would anyone shed some light on the matter or provide some sort of guidelines on how to do this?
Thank you very much,
Pedro Amorim
