Hello Michael and Mark, Thank you for your replies. Silly me, I forgot to mention I had already run the command koha-email-enable so that is not the reason.
UPDATE: I had the following entry on the logs: Use of uninitialized value $OPACBaseURL in substitution $OPACBaseURL is a variable being used in the mail template so I'm guessing this was part of the reason. But I configured the OPACBaseURL parameter in the administration panel and still no e-mail is being sent. Although it doesn't log the message anymore. Instead of waiting for the cronjob to trigger, I ran: /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/process_message_queue.pl Because I knew there was a record in message_queue with the status = "pending", but after running the above command I got the following message(s): connect to localhost failed (Connection refused) connect to localhost failed connect to localhost failed (Connection refused) no (more) retries!
