[Koha] Email alert from Koha

[Bernardo Gonzalez Kriegel]

In our installations we use nullmailer, it is a minimal send-only MTA, we
don't try to convert our Koha servers in full mail servers.

In Ubuntu/Debian simply do "apt-get install nullmailer", then you must edit
at least 2 archives

/etc/nullmailer/me (one line, your hostname, e.g. koha.example.org)
/etc/nullmailer/remotes (one line for each relay host, e.g. smtp.example.org
)

optionally edit /etc/nullmailer/adminaddr (e.g. biliomaster at koha.example.orgor
bibliomaster at example.org)

Restart the service and the Koha box could "send" emails.

Another step is to configure the DNS server adding an MX record for the Koha
host associated to your "real" mail server and configure
sendmail/postfix/qmail/exim/whatever to accept mail addresed to the Koha
box, because it can not receive mails.
