Overdue notices sent to a random patron (3.16)
Hi, I just upgraded to Koha 3.16 using the Debian repo on Thursday. Everything went fine and was working well. On Friday, I found out that a patron received 51 emails of advanced due notices of other patrons. I confirmed this with the server mail logs, but I have no idea why this happened. I verified that this patron's email address only shows up under their record on the borrowers table. Checking the email logs, it seems that it sends a bunch of emails to a single patron, then another bunch to another (I don't know what the content is), so I'm suspecting something strange is going on. I tried running the overdue_notices.pl script with -n -v, and it just spit out a list of messages to be sent, but not the email address it would send it to. Any ideas where to begin searching to investigate this? Thanks, --yuval
Hello Yuval, Bug found, see the patch on bug 12315. The script is advanced_notices.pl, not overdue_notices.pl It is highly recommended not to use this script without the patch attached to the bug report. Regards, Jonathan 2014-05-26 15:36 GMT+02:00 Yuval Hager <yhager@yhager.com>:
