I'm having tons of trouble getting the fromstring to work in 
voicemail.conf. I've tried both voicemail and voicemail2 but the emails 
still seem to be coming from asterisk pbx. Has anyone had any luck with 
this?
=================
Here's my voicemail.conf:
;
; Voicemail Configuration
;
[general]
; Default formats for writing Voicemail
;format=g723sf|wav49|wav
format=wav49|gsm|wav
; Who the e-mail notification should appear to come from
serveremail=vmoperator
;serveremail=asterisk at linux-support.net
; Should the email contain the voicemail as an attachment
attach=yes
; Maximum length of a voicemail message
;maxmessage=180
; Maximum length of greetings
;maxgreet=60
; How many miliseconds to skip forward/back when rew/ff in message 
playback
skipms=3000
; How many seconds of silence before we end the recording
maxsilence=10
; Silence threshold (what we consider silence, the lower, the more 
sensitive)
silencethreshold=128
; Max number of failed login attempts
maxlogins=3

; Skip the "[PBX]:" string from the message title
;pbxskip=yes
; Change the From: string
fromstring=VoiceMail System ; Whats wrong??? (this comment isn't here 
in the real file)
; Change the email body, variables: VM_NAME, VM_DUR, VM_MSGNUM, 
VM_MAILBOX, VM_CALLERID, VM_DATE
;emailbody=Dear ${VM_NAME}:\n\n\tjust wanted to let you know you were 
just left a ${VM_DUR} long message (number ${VM_MSGNUM})\nin mailbox 
${VM_MAILBOX} from ${VM_CALLERID}, on ${VM_DATE} so you might\nwant to 
check it when you get a chance.  Thanks!\n\n\t\t\t\t--Asterisk\n


;
; Users may be located in different timezones, or may have different
; message announcements for their introductory message when they enter
; the voicemail system. Set the message and the timezone each user
; hears here. Set the user into one of these zones with the tz= 
attribute
; in the options field of the mailbox. Of course, language substitution
; still applies here so you may have several directory trees that have
; alternate language choices.
;
; Look in /usr/share/zoneinfo/ for names of timezones.
; Look at the manual page for strftime for a quick tutorial on how the
; variable substitution is done on the values below.
;
; Supported values:
; 'filename'    filename of a soundfile (single ticks around the 
filename required)
; ${VAR}        variable substitution
; A or a        Day of week (Saturday, Sunday, ...)
; B or b or h   Month name (January, February, ...)
; d or e        numeric day of month (first, second, ..., thirty-first)
; Y             Year
; I or l        Hour, 12 hour clock
; H             Hour, 24 hour clock (single digit hours preceded by 
"oh")
; k             Hour, 24 hour clock (single digit hours NOT preceded by 
"oh")
; M             Minute
; P or p        AM or PM
; Q             "today", "yesterday" or ABdY (*note: not standard 
strftime value)
; q             "" (for today), "yesterday", weekday, or ABdY (*note: 
not standard strftime value)
; R             24 hour time, including minute
;
