I am using Asterisk to send Voicemail out as Email. I am running into a problem I believe to be caused by the exchange server requiring SMTP authentication. I cannot get the sys admin's to turn it off. Does anyone know enough about sendmail to help me. I am assuming that the default mail client is sendmail. It will also send to other non-SMTP authenticated servers. Your help is much appreciated. Jordan Novak
Hi, Can you make some test to send voicemail to other mail account? (e.g, @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com...). If it's work. I think not a SMTP authetication problem. Or you can check the asterisk maillog first.

They should be willing to turn on relaying for your specific IP or host. Since I have Comcast cable, I am on a lot of blacklists (they blacklist all of Comcast's home users subnets). To get around this, and I am sure there is a much simpler way (eliminating Exchange), I allow my Exchange server to relay from one specific host. There is no authentication required coming from this specific host. This still doesn't solve the blacklist problem but I use a service called www.dnsexit.com which has email relay as one of their services. They are not on any blacklists (that I am aware of)and the reason why I make the hop to Exchange is because they have an easy how-to with pictures :-) on their website for authentication from Exchange. I followed their instructions and have checked my logs, I am not an open relay and only use about 500 relays a day average. I pay $50/yr for 600 relays which is fine for now. Here are their prices. Pricing Fully refundable within 30 days of the payment if service is not satisfied. 150 relays per day - $14.95/year 300 relays per day - $26.95/year 450 relays per day - $38.95/year 600 relays per day - $49.95/year 900 relays per day - $79.95/year 1200 relays per day - $107.95/year 1500 relays per day - $139.95/year 2000 relays per day - $179.95/year Rock solid delivery and have not had any bounced blacklist emails. Not sure if the prices are good but I like the service they provide and may look at somem of the other services they have if I ever need them. I have no affiliation with this company.

Your help is much appreciated.Install MSMTP as your local MTA (replacing sendmail). Configure Asterisk to use the local MTA, and configure MSMTP to forward to the Exchange server with authentication. http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/ Peter -- Peter Bowyer Email: peter@bowyer.org Tel: +44 1296 768003 VoIP: sip:peter@bowyer.org VoIP: *5048707000@sipbroker.com FWD: **275*5048707000 VoipTalk: **473*5048707000
You need to enable the Exchange SMTP gateway to receive email from your * server's IP address. There is a way to do that if you look closely in the Advanced section of the SMTP connector. It's under relaying.
