[asterisk-users] Mail Server

[Mike Hammett]

Through help from people on the lists and then further investigation based on those results, here is what I did.

1)  I set the office to a statically assigned IP instead of from the pool.
2)  I made an A entry on one of my domains aiur.ics-il.net (where aiur is the machine name).
3)  I added aiur.ics-il.net directly after 127.0.0.1 in the /etc/hosts file (copied below).
4)  I set the from email address (serveremail) in /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf to something at the domain I created (voicemail at aiur.ics-il.net).
5)  Presto!

[root at Aiur ~]# cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1       aiur.ics-il.net Aiur    localhost.localdomain   localhost
::1     localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

  Subject: [asterisk-users] Mail Server


  I need to setup a small mail server on a local network.  It only needs SMTP ability as it's just so Asterisk can send out emails.  The machine has sendmail installed.  My primary mail server seems to be rejecting the messages.  Some research says something isn't configured properly.  What do I have to do so the outside world accepts emails from my Asterisk box?  It is behind a NAT.
