asterisk users - Jan 2007 - Voicemail to email

Hey guys,

I need to set up asterisk so that it sends the voicemail to the users email.
I understand that I need to say "attatch=yes", but what else needs to
be
done. I would think that somewhere I need to specify the server that it uses
to send the email, etc.

There should be an example in your voicemail.conf

Here is mine...

mail is tagged from asterisk@crompton.com and sent to doug@crompton.com

In voicemail.conf....

mailcmd=/usr/sbin/sendmail -f asterisk@crompton.com doug@crompton.com

You of course would use the mailer that your system uses. I have sendmail
on the same system as Asterisk.

There are many other things you can define for mail but all should be in
your example  voicemail.conf

You just specify the users email address in the voicemail.conf file,
along with their mailbox number:

see the sample file:

[default]
; Define maximum number of messages per folder for a particular context.

In my case it was never any confusion over what needs to be configured in
asterisk. I was wondering what mail program asterisk used and what needed to
be configured with it. In my case I had to set up sendmail on my system to
relay through our internal mail server.

sendmail.mc was the file I had to modify and SmartHost was what I had to
append to.
