[Asterisk-Users] voicemail use external smtp server for sendingmail
I had the same question, and I want to make sure I'm clear..... This implies to me that Asterisk itself doesn't use SMTP, but rather dumps a message into some directory that Sendmail on the same box will see and process? I have no problem getting Sendmail to use a smarthost, but am I understanding the Asterisk part of this properly, or is there a way to get Asterisk to DIRECTLY use a smarthost, so that Sendmail doesn't have to be running on the local Asterisk box?

Asterisk actualy uses the sendmail as you would in the shell. It is up to sendmail to decided how to process the message, and yes you are right asterisk is *not* the one making the SMTP connection. You can't get asterisk to do it directly since asterisk is not initiating any connections, but submitting it to a program that is, by default that program is sendmail.
