As of 16.05, overdue_notice.pl has a test mode, allowing you to run it without debarring patrons or accidentally sending notices.
If you aren't seeing overdue notices in message_queue, I would suggest running overdue_notice.pl by hand using the same arguments that you're using in the cron job, but add --test to the argument list. See if you get any error messages on the screen. --Barton On Tue, Jun 6, 2017 at 3:27 PM, Katrin <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Brian, > > those should both work - which version of Koha are you using?
