[Asterisk-Users] Using Exchange to send voicemail message

IMAP and POP3 are used for the MUA to get access to a mailbox.  They are not
used for delivering messages to a mailbox, but for reading message out of a
mailbox.

What you are looking for, is an SMTP gateway.  Sendmail is an SMTP MTA that
can be configured to send the email (via SMTP/ESMTP) to the Exchange server.

All you really need to do is have the DNS MX records for foo.com pointing
to your Exchange server.  Then, in voicemail.conf you would have the email
address set to user at foo.com.

Of course, change foo.com to whatever your domain, for the Exchange server, is.
And, make sure you have the SMTP connector configured for Exchange.
