[Asterisk-Users] Voicemail and sendmail

[Colin Anderson]

You can also modify the passwd file in /etc to put a friendly name on the
SMTP envelope instead of "root" b/c some spam filters will block even if the
email address is ok but the sender is "root" 

Best practice is to run non-root though. I have an "Asterisk" user and an
"Asterisk" group. If you modify your passwd file appropriately after setting
your Asterisk account you can get very friendly names like "Company XYZ
phone system"

It seems that in both the 1.0 line and the 1.2 line, the [general]
section of voicemail.conf has an option:

; Who the e-mail notification should appear to come from
serveremail=user at somedomain.com
