[Asterisk-Users] vm to email ?

[Chris Albertson]

You don't say if e-mail can be sent out on the server not
using Asterisk.  Just try it.  Log into the * server box as
a noraml user and send an e-mail to hris at netlabz.com
If that fails don't blame Asterisk or it's configuration.

If the above test fails look in /var/log/maillog or 
/var/log/messages for the reason it didn't go.  Many
times your ISP's mail server requires a password authentication
and for thatmatter you need to tell your sendmail to use
that server a a relay
