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.<br><br>In Ubuntu/Debian simply do "apt-get install nullmailer", then you must edit at least 2 archives<br>
<br>/etc/nullmailer/me (one line, your hostname, e.g. <a href="http://koha.example.org">koha.example.org</a>)<br>/etc/nullmailer/remotes (one line for each relay host, e.g. <a href="http://smtp.example.org">smtp.example.org</a>)<br>
<br>optionally edit /etc/nullmailer/adminaddr (e.g. <a href="mailto:biliomaster@koha.example.org">biliomaster@koha.example.org</a> or <a href="mailto:bibliomaster@example.org">bibliomaster@example.org</a>)<br><br>Restart the service and the Koha box could "send" emails.<br>
<br>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.<br>

</div>The question at hand was how to configure Sendmail or Postfix for<br>
Koha. Replying with how to build a qmail fork from source and not<br>
configure it for Koha doesn't seem helpful, no matter what we think of<br>
the relative merits of the three emailing systems.<br>
