[Asterisk-Users] Re: problems with emailing voicemail

[Colin Anderson]

if you are using Sendmail, then you have to add a trusted user to
/etc/sendmail.cf in the format:
 
Tuser
 
So if the user you run Asterisk under is called "asterisk" then you add
Tasterisk to sendmail.cf. Restart Sendmail. Then in voicemail.conf you can
set the email address to whatever you want, it's at the top of the config
file, I believe.

Wow, Thanks so much for all your help.  I tried Steve's suggestion using
tail and found:

from=< root at localhost.localdomain <mailto:root at localhost.localdomain> >, ...
stat=Deferred: 450 < root at localhost.localdomain
<mailto:root at localhost.localdomain> >: Sender address rejected: Domain not
found

So it looks like the sender email is no longer acceptable.  This worked fine
b4, so perhaps the ISP taking care of the callees email has changed its
policy?  Anyway, I could use a hand on how to fix this.  How do I get
Asterisk to use a valid email address rather than root at localhost.localdomain
<mailto:root at localhost.localdomain> ?

Many Thanks,
Hugh

Do a "tail -f /var/log/maillog" which will give you a  real-time view of
your mail server activity, then while that's running, leave yourself a
voicemail.

The first place to look would be in /var/log/maillog on the box. 

Look particularly around the time when a voicemail should have been sent.
