Koha doesn't generate check-out and check-in notices
Good day! I'm configuring koha to send notices to patrons through their email address. I used ssmtp as my MTA and gmail as my mail server. Sending of email through command line is quite successful. I had process_message_queue in my crontab set to send messages every minute. I made it sure that messaging preferences for each category is configured to send check-out and check-in notices. And of course, I created check-out and check-in notices. Eventually, I tried to check-out an item for a patron but when I check the notices tab in the OPAC there is no generated check-out notice. I can't figure out what is the problem here. Please help.. -- "Luceat Lux Vestra" Let Your Light Shine! "Straordinario Nelle Cose Ordinarie" Making ordinary things extraordinary ...

Hi. Thanks for the question, but to help with that, we need a bit more information. You probably need to tell us:- * Any error message (preferred) or precise problem description, including the name of the program being used to send email from the command-line. * Is Koha sending any emails? * Check any relevant log files you can find and email in the lines for the successful sending from the command-line and the unsuccessful sending from Koha.

To my knowledge, Koha does not work with ssmtp or any non-daemon MTAs (such as nullmailer). Koha uses Perl's SMTP routines which tries to connect to TCP 25 of localhost looking for a SMTP server. However, ssmtp only runs as sendmail bin and does not listen for such a connection. Try postfix instead. --Mizst 2011/4/27 glernil evangelista <infotech.sbc@gmail.com>
