Question
How can I check if the mailserver is working with Aleph GUI
Answer
1) Try if you can send an e-mail to a patron in circulation in Gobal Patron Information using the envelope icon.
Is the e-mail sent to the patron or do you also get an error message?
Then there might be a problem with the connection to your mail server.
2) Maybe there is a problem with standard port 25? You can do a telnet command from this pc to the mailserver from command prompt:
type in:
telnet mailservername 25
There should be an answer from the mailserver like this:
220 demail01.exl.local ESMTP Server (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service 5.5.2650.21) ready
type in: HELO
The server must answer: 250
Type in: Quit
