[asterisk-users] Mail Server

Thu Jul 10 21:04:30 CDT 2008

I´ve managed to put it to work, very simply.
Just created an A DNS entry pointing to my system. This procedure validates
the reverse lookup, gmail and others do, before accepting the mail in their
inboxes.

All my sendmail emails gets delivered with no need of smarthosts, therefore,
no need to SSl or TLS auth.

Sorry, for posting on the wrong list. When I started using asterisk I had no
clue, whatsoever on Linux, and tought that as the problem arose when trying
to build an asterisk server, that these should be the right forums.

But thanks all for the help.
