Hi Pedro, I am facing a problem with koha notifications similar to that you had been facing in the past, your message details at the end of this email.
When I use following commands. 1. koha-shell library 2. export PERL5LIB="/usr/share/koha/lib" 3. export KOHA_CONF="/etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml" 4. cd /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs above all go fine, but when i use following command: 5. ./process_message_queue.pl this error message appears: connect to localhost failed (Connection refused) connect to localhost failed connect to localhost failed (Connection refused) no (more) retries! at ./process_message_queue.pl line 66. Then in patron accounts, email status changes to "failed". Help Plz. Below is your problem detail. Hello, I have solved the problem: Sendmail.pm needs to have smtp => 'localhost' and port => 25 and the e-mail notifications are now working.
