[Koha] Cron does not trigger email notifications script - help

[satish]

Thank you Mark and Mirko for your valuable reply.

When the message_queue.pl script run manually, I was getting following
error previously.

root at gechlibrary:/usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs# ./process_message_queue.pl
unable to locate Koha configuration file koha-conf.xml at
/usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 375.
Can't call method "config" on unblessed reference at
/usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 793.

at the line no: 192, I modified with proper location of koha-conf.xml
loaded. and retried running the script. afterwords,  there were no errors.
and this is the reason, I edited the file /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm

And using koha-email-enable instancename option, I did as indicated by
Mirko.
and when I check, sent notices in the patron screen for emails, it is
showing email status: sent
and now I believe, cron is doing its work. however, postfix is NOT
delivering mails.(SMTP), I am not sure why?

and regarding koha user, the output shows as below.

root at gechlibrary# grep koha /etc/passwd
mvs-koha:x:1001:1001:Koha instance mvs-koha,,,:/var/lib/koha/mvs:/bin/bash

the cron entry in /etc/cron.d/koha-common is:

/etc/cron.d/koha-common
#
# Call koha-rebuild-zebra for each enabled Koha instance, to make sure the
# Zebra indexes are up to date.

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

*/5 * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/koha-rebuild-zebra && koha-rebuild-zebra
$(koha-list --enabled)
*/15 * * * * root koha-foreach --enabled --email
/usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/process_message_queue.pl
