asterisk users - Jan 2006 - Voice mail messages aren't sent to e-mail

Voice-mail messages aren't sent to e-mail address.

I have two Asterisk servers, first one is upgraded from 1.0.RC2 to
1.0.9, and second one is from 1.0.7 to 1.0.9. Both Asterisk have EXACTLY
same "voicemail.conf" configuration, but second Asterisk don't
sending
voice mail messages through e-mail!

I'm using almost default "voicemail.conf" with just one mailbox
addedd:
1234 => 1234,MyName,MyMail@MyDomain.com

Why second Asterisk don't sending e-mails? I tested nail program, and I
can send any mail without problems.

How Asterisk sending mail, through some other program (nail, mail) or by
itself?

In 1.2.1 The mail is sent, according to app_voicemail.c, with:

/* Default mail command to mail voicemail. Change it with the
    mailcmd= command in voicemail.conf */
#define SENDMAIL "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"

as it says, you can change the behaviour through "mailcmd" parameter
in voicemail.conf
basically asterisk creates all the headers and stuff writing to file
/tmp/astmail-XXXXXX where XXXXXX is a random string. If you want to
see really what asterisk is trying to send, just go to app_voicemail.c
and change in line 1008:

snprintf(tmp2, sizeof(tmp2), "( %s < %s ; rm -f %s ) &",
mailcmd, tmp, tmp);

for this:

snprintf(tmp2, sizeof(tmp2), "( %s < %s ; ) &", mailcmd, tmp);

so the temporary file wont be deleted, go to /tmp/ and see whats
trying to send. You can even issue:

/usr/sbin/sendmail -t < /tmp/astmail-blah

I had a similar problem, but I was able to see the message getting  
rejected to rr.com because they were looking up the hostname pbx....  
and rejecting it. I changed the mailcmd to add a -f realhostname.com  
and it started working.
