ILL_CONF_EMAIL

This option defines the header of the ILL Request confirmation email. This option accepts the following values:

ILL_CONF_EMAIL=<from address>|<reply-to address>

Element Description
<from address> The "From" address that appears in the email header. This address is not verified prior to sending the message.

Enter a fully qualified email address including the @[domain]. For example, "bounces@not-iii.org" sends bounced email to the email account "bounces" on the "not-iii.org" server. The fully qualified email address cannot resolve to the Innovative server that originates the email. Fully qualified email addresses are limited to 49 characters.
Innovative Servers Reject Incoming Email

Innovative servers are configured to reject incoming email, including bounced email (that is, undeliverable email that is returned to a sender-designated address).

If you leave this element blank, the system uses the default "From" address. To change the default "From" address, contact Innovative.
<reply-to address> The "Reply-To" address that appears in the email header.

Enter a fully qualified email address including the @[domain]. For example, "reply@not-iii.org" sends reply email to the email account "reply" on the "not-iii.org" server. Use a fully qualified email address that does not resolve to the Innovative server that originates the email. Fully qualified email addresses are limited to 49 characters. This address will not be verified prior to sending the message.

This element is optional. If this element is left blank, no "Reply-To:" line is included in the header of the email message.

For example:

ILL_CONF_EMAIL=ill_desk@lib.edu|circular_file@lib.edu

If this option is not defined, WebPAC does not generate an ILL Request confirmation email.

ILL_CONF_EMAIL_SUBJECT[_lang]

This option defines the subject line of the ILL Request confirmation email. This option accepts a text value for the subject line. If this option is not defined, WebPAC uses the following default value:

ILL_CONF_EMAIL_SUBJECT=Library notification of interlibrary loan request

This option can vary by language.

ILL_HOME[scope]

This option specifies the URL of the HTML page that users go to after entering ILL requests with one of the /illx command links. For example:

ILL_HOME=/screens/ill.html

The BUT_ILL_HOME button may be used to launch this URL. If there is no BUT_ILL_HOME defined, the link will display as the underlined text "Another ILL Request".

This option can vary by scope.
