[Asterisk-Users] Voicemail message as e-mail attachment

[Phil Guier]

I had some problem with this also. If you are using
sendmail, edit sendmail.cf and input a couple of
parms:

-Find a line that starts with DS. Put in your
provider's mailserver address right after the DS.
Example: DSmail.swbell.net

This will allow your provider to relay the mail for
you. 

Then find a line that starts with DM. Put in your
mycomp.mydomain.ro same as above.
Example: DMmycomp.mydomain.ro

Restart sendmail. This fixed my problem, maybe it will
work on yours too if your setup is similar.
