I understand asterisk invokes sendmail in order to send email notifications of messages left. Is there another application less complicated than Sendmail, I already got mail servers else where and they are the ones I want to use. Any light in this matter will be appreciated. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is about as bare bones as an MTA as you can get, and I'm surprised that it doesn't see wider use than Debian and Gentoo (in particular it doesn't seem to be present by default in Red Hat or Fedora).

So you can probably use your favourite MTA i.s.o. sendmail. -- Andreas Sikkema Rits tele.com Scheepmakersstraat 11 3011 VH Rotterdam t: +31 (0)10 2245544 f: +31 (0)10 2245540

You usually only need to change 3 lines in the sendmail config.
I usually use Qmail www.qmail.org, in my humble opinion it is more straight forward to configure than sendmail.

This keeps your mail system centralized and the control in one place, which is far easier to maintain that a full-blown MTA for ever server you have. If you insist on a full MTA, Postfix gets my vote; it's every bit as secure as qmail (I have been using qmail for close to a decade now) but without the billion patches required to give qmail any kind of modern functionality. -A.
