Hi, all I want voicemails to be delivered to recepients by e-mail. I have set up voicenail, and I can see asterisk is using sendmail to send messages out. Using Ethereal, I can see that messages are leaving my network, but receipeint mail server never replies back. As a result, mail delivery is timed out. I got a book on sendmail and it looks quite complex. It will take quite a bit of time to find out what is going on. I am using FC3 and sendmail uses default configuration. Is teher a quick tweak I can do to get it to work? May be someone can suggest another mail program that is easier to setup? Messages sent from command line behave same way as ones sent from asterisks, so it is definetely a sendmail configuration issue. Thanks a lot, Rudolf
Default sendmail should work. Try to test sendmail from console. Some SMTP maybe block the email. run mail to see if your email is bounced back.

RedHat also configures their sendmail to not accept connections from any servers other than the localhost. Although I wouldn't expect that to affect outgoing mail, I have found that it often does. Google for "redhat sendmail DAEMON_OPTIONS 127.0.0.1" Or check out this article: http://www.joreybump.com/code/howto/ smtpauth.html and look for DAEMON_OPTIONS .

A program that provides basically the same command-line interface sendmail provides for sending messages. There are currently many of those. Fedora includes not only Sendmail, but Postfix as well. I personally find Postfix much sainer than Sendmail. Furthermore, what you basically want is a rather simple setup: relay all local messages through a certain "SMTP server" to some remote locations. There a number of programs, such as ssmtp and nullmailer, that do exactly that, without keeping a local queue at all. (Their error handling is problematic: network errors may mean lost messages: they don't queue. But then again, they're much simpler.) So in short: you have a whole range of programs that provide "a sendmil". Not necessarily the complex Sendmail your book was written about. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzafrir@jbr.cohens.org.il | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzafrir@cohens.org.il | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend
