hey i tried configuring email notification using http://www.mail-archive.com/ koha@lists.katipo.co.nz/msg06181.html instructions but im getting an error in in the mail log that aliases.db and sasl_passwd cannot be found. the university also blocked all ports apart from 8080. Can that affect the sending of the mails?

In that case I think it would be impossible to your koha box to send emails.. directly If you are inside an organization, it better to use it's smtp server. For that task I think that nullmailer is the right tool. You only need to configure it to send all email using your smtp server, If you are using ubuntu, simply install it apt-get install nullmailer and the install process will ask the address of the smtp server.

can you paste the output of ls -l /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd and ls -l /etc/aliases? the university also blocked all ports apart from 8080. Can that affect the

you would need the ports for gmail open, but that does not have anything to do with your above error. cheers -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.
