Step 1 - Setup email delivery
- Install mail delivery agent
sudo apt-get install postfix
When asked for type of configuration, select Internet with smarthost. The smarthost is your campus email server, for example at Stellenbosch University that server is: mail.sun.ac.za
- Deliver koha user email to designated recipients
sudo nano /etc/aliases
See example below. Replace the example email addresses with your email addresses.
# Added by installer for initial user
root: me@my.edu
koha: me@my.edu, you@my.edu
After saving the file, run the following command.
sudo newaliases
Enable command line email utils
sudo apt-get install mailx
Send a test email to yourself, by typing and pressing enter.
mail -s "Test from KOHA server" root, me@my.edu
Type in some content for the email, then press CTL+d to deliver the email.
You can check the log at /var/log/mail.log for more info of delivery.
