I have the Pharm. company setup with an email address. When I create a RX and come to the point of either printing, pdf, email, etc. I choose to email, but it fails. The email address it shows is correct. I’m using Ubuntu on both server and client. I’m on the client machine when doing this and have my email client (Evolution) working correctly. I’ve tried working on the server, which also has Evolution setup correctly and it does the same thing. Anyone had this problem? Thanks,
I’m new to OpenEMR but I assume that when sending an email the OpenEMR server tries to send SMTP directly. But I think emrtech is expecting it to use Evolution to open a new email message with the script as an attachment.
Emrtech, if I’m correct and the server needs to send directly to an SMTP relay, then this is something that you will have to setup with your Internet Service Provider or some external SMTP Relay host. I found some instructions for setting up SMTP for email notifications, I’m guessing that it’s the same config for scripts. You will need to have the external SMTP Relay first, then use this: http://www.openmedsoftware.org/wiki/Sms_and_Email_Notification_Howtos
Someone else please confirm that OpenEMR uses an SMTP Relay rather than a mail app. such as Evolution.
You should make sure that you can send email from the server that hosts your OpenEMR installation, with something like (mailx -s Test my@email.address <<< ‘Just a test sending mail from the server.’).
