echo test | mail -s test thomas.perron at gmail.com If that doesn't work and you don't get any useful clues from the command output, start digging where your syslogd logs messages. Next, from a shell command line, try echo test | mail -s test 5555551212 at txt.att.net Note that this recipient is specific to this carrier. If that works, it should work in Asterisk assuming you don't have any path or permissions issues. -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Edwards sedwards at sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000
