[Koha] 3.20 circulation email to staff

[Elaine Bradtke]

Bob, thanks for responding, I've done some more digging.

 I checked the items in and out of my staff  account and a notification
went to the e-mail address that we use for koha admin and my personal email
address (which makes sense given the quirk in the OVerdueNoticeBCC see
below). The notifications in my account are set the same way in both
versions of the catalogue (we try to keep the two as close as possible to
identical so testing is reliable) .

 OverdueNoticeBcc has the same admin email address in both cases. This
setting actually seems to mean that BCCs of all circulation notices will be
sent to the admin address, not just overdue notices*.  But the notices only
seem to be sent from our test site that's running 3.20
I suspect there's a difference somewhere, in how our catalogue sends out
(or in the case of production doesn't send out) messages.  As I said
before, we actually circulate very few items.
Removing the admin email from the OverdueNoticeBcc seems to have stopped
the test catalogue from sending out these messages, but it has me wondering
why we never saw them from the production catalogue. Come to think of it,
I've never seen overdue notices from production, and I know our patrons
well enough to suspect the messages are just not going out.

Back to digging around in the system preferences, and the patron settings.

*There are a couple bugs filed for this:
