[asterisk-users] Mail Server

[Lyle Giese]

Mike,
Most newer Linux distro's use Postfix. It's simple to setup Postfix to
use SMTP AUTH to send email. You need to figure out why the primary mail
server is rejecting the emails and go from there. Contact me off list if
you want more info.

I think I have a quick how-to I wrote for myself on how to set Postfix
to use SMTP AUTH when sending email.
