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.
