Hello all. This is the 3rd time I'm posting the same problem in this mailing list. I am using KOHA 3.00.03 and have set up libraries to be used with it. Now, I want to send overdue notices to the students who have an overdue. I have tried all the available options but all in vain. It is not sending mails at all. I have also written in the cron jobs but still the same. I kindly request anyone who has successfully setup the mail sending functionality in KOHA, to make a small how-to (step-by-step) so that it may help me and others like me. Please Reply to this ASAP. Regards. -- Nitesh Rijal BE IT rijal.it@gmail.com http://niteshrijal.com.np http://facebook.com/openrijal http://twitter.com/openrijal +9779841458173

Hi Nitesh It is not setting up mail in Koha (not KOHA, it's a maori word, not an acronym) but it's setting up a mta on your server that you need to do. Koha hands its mail off to the system to deliver, unless your server can send mail, nothing will get sent. You might want to read one of the multitude of tutorial and faqs that are out there for configuring a mail server. Chris
Hello. I have installed KOHA in Debian Lenny and also have PostFix installed. My system sends mail when I use the "mailx" or "mail" command. Is that all I need to do? or is there anything else. Please Help. On Sun, Apr 18, 2010 at 11:55 AM, Chris Cormack <chris@bigballofwax.co.nz>wrote:

Postfix is listening on localhost, port 25? Ie if you telnet localhost 25 postfix answers. If so Koha should be able to send messages. Try tailing you mail log and running the process_message_queue.pl or another script that sends email and see what happens. Chris
I am having the same issue with my setup. I have mailx installed to send mail and it is working; I get a fines report email and an advance notice email, but no overdue notices. Thanks. Todd Chris Cormack wrote:

Perhaps your problem is configuration of overdue notices? Make sure you have set no values for the default library in tools > notice triggers. Default library is broken, define notice triggers for the specific libary instead. -----Original Message----- From: koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz on behalf of Todd Bowman Sent: Mon 26.04.2010 21:04 To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] Help needed in Overdue Mails sending I am having the same issue with my setup.

I have triggers set for each of the two libraries we have. The default library has no triggers set at all. When I manually run overdue_notices in verbose mode I get the following message as part of the results: borrower 2010-04-21, 2010-04-01 ("name") has 2 items triggering level 3. at ./overdue_notices.pl line 402 So it looks to me like the triggers are working. When I run process_message_queue I get the following message: sending email message to patron: Admin at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Letters.pm line 607 But then Admin gets no email. I've checked spam and nothing shows up there either. Thanks. Todd On Mon, Apr 26, 2010 at 3:31 PM, Fischer, Katrin <Katrin.Fischer@bsz-bw.de>wrote:
