[Asterisk-Users] Using Exchange to send voicemail message

[Alex Brett]

As far as I know asterisk won't talk directly to an SMTP server.

All you have to do is set sendmail to relay all mail through your 
exchange server (the DS directive in sendmail.cf) and then you are 
sorted, the only difference between it directly talking to the exchange 
server is one extra 'Received from' header on the e-mail.
