asterisk users - Feb 2006 - Fromstring when sending e-mail on recieved voicemail

Hi. I'm having trouble controlling the user info when sending e-mails
from asterisk via sendmail to a Microsoft exchange server.

When I receive the email the sender is always
"asterisk@TheDomainISpecify.com" and the name of the sender is always
"Added by portage for asterisk". I want to change both sender-address
and the name of the sender.

I'm using Gentoo for my asterisk box.

Can anyone help me on this one? 

Regards
Arne Morten Johansen

This is actually picked up out of /etc/passwd by default AFAIK. In 
voicemail.conf you can change the "serveremail" and
"fromstring"
settings, although I think this is only in 1.2.x.

Hope this helps.

In voicemail.conf you have

[general]
serveremail=my@address.hr
fromstring="My name"
