Hi,

 

I've been trying to have Asterisk to email user each time a voice message is
left. I am quite lost on how to do this, where should the pop and stmp
settings be written? Or just simply how should one proceed?

 

Any help?

 

TX

First, make sure your mail server can send emails.  Seconds, in
voicemail.conf, you are going to want to make sure that there is an
email address on your voicemail config line.  For example:

[default]
1000 => 1234,General Mailbox,user@host.com

If you want the voicemail attached, in the [general] section add:  attach=yes

To configure smtp in your Asterisk server, you can try with these lines in
/etc/hosts  
 
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost            
192.168.200.171    sun50.my_domain.com.ar   sun50              #  This
Asterisk server       
192.168.200.1        my_mail    my_mail.my_domain.com.ar    mailhost    #
Exchange server
 
(I have replaced the real server and domain names with my_mail and
my_domain)
 
The important word is mailhost.
 
Be sure that sendmail is running.
 
 
Best regards
 
Luis

app_voicemail.c/VoiceMail invokes the sendmail command internally to send 
email.  You must have postfix, sendmail or exim, or some other MTA that 
provides a sendmail compatibility binary.  See voicemail.conf for the 
setting that tells it where to look for the binary.

Right now app_voicemail.c does not connect directly via SMTP itself. 
Sending mail has nothing to do with POP3.  The system merely invokes 
sendmail, passes in the message it wants to send to the address specified 
in the mailbox configuration and that's it.
