[asterisk-users] Bug in voicemail module of Asterisk 1.4.2?

[Sven Jacobs]

Dear users,

I think I may found a bug in the voicemail module of Asterisk 1.4.2!

Outgoing email notifications should use a real existing domain (let's 
call it domain.real) instead of the local domain (domain.local) so that 
some mail servers won't reject the mails. That's why I've set the 
serveremail option in voicemail.conf to asterisk at domain.real. 
Unfortunately Asterisk is always sending these mails with the sender 
asterisk at hostname regardless of the serveremail option. I was able to at 
least change this behavior to asterisk at hostname.domain.local by changing 
the line

192.168.100.1   hostname.domain.local  hostname

in /etc/hosts

to

192.168.100.1   hostname.domain.local

but not any further. I don't think this is a bug of the MTA (exim4) 
because sending mails via mutt does work, the emails are sent by 
username at domain.real then.
