[asterisk-users] How to change sendmail return path

[shadowym]

Thanks for the info Tilghman,

I had high hopes for this solution for unfortunately it's not working.  Did
exactly as you specified but "return path" is still "asterisk at domain.com"
even though "serveremail=noreply at domain.com" in voicemail.conf :(

The line to do this is "Tasterisk" in sendmail.cf or in sendmail.mc:
define(`confTRUSTED_USERS', `asterisk')dnl
