[Asterisk-Users] vm email notifications

[firedude at shorelinuxsolutions.com]

Well in pine I'm sending it out as me at mydomain.com. In asterisk in the 
actual voicemail.conf file I set the From field to a valid user name like 
me at mydomain.com.  However for the loopback I have several names like local 
host.localdomain and myhost.mydomain.com which actually is probably 
unresolvable.
