Hello list users
I have a very nice installation of asterisk on a mac mini.
Everything seems to work fine, call works, vm works, even message
transfer works but asterisk doesn't send any email.
this is my voicemail.conf:
[general]
mailcmd=/opt/local/bin/msmtp -t; --from=myemail at server.ext
;mailcmd=cat \> /tmp/asteriskvm-mail
format=wav
attach=yes
serveremail=from=myemail at server.ext
emailsubject=New message from ${VM_CALLERID}
emailbody=Hi, ${VM_NAME}!\n\nYou have a new message from $
{VM_CALLERID} in mailbox ${VM_MAILBOX}.
fromstring=My Telephone System
;max and min length of a message
maxmessage = 180
maxlogins = 3
[default]
100 => 4711,Front Desk,roberto.milani at sbcglobal.net
as you can see I'm using msmtp for mail and I tested it outside
asterisk an it works.
from the commented line you can se that I tried to cat the output to a
file but that never happens.
It really seems that asterisk don't send the emails.
any suggestions?
Thanks
Roberto
Permissions? Try running msmtp from the asterisk account? (Assuming that
is how you have it setup)
I don't know msmtp - but is there a maillog equivalent?

Are you certain Asterisk is not sending the emails, rather than them not being received? i have had problems in the past with spam filters rejecting the emails.

MD thanks for the replies but the problem persist to recap: msmtp works just fine from the asterisk user, typing: echo "hello." | msmtp --debug --account=myaccount --from=myadress at server.ext roberto.milani at sbcglobal.net I have a log and I receive the mail. I renamed sendmail and linked msmtp and tried the above command with sendmail and the link works too. I removed the mailcmd from voicemail.conf but no email on messages not even without attachment It just does not get called from asterisk. is there a way to debug it? thanks Roberto -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ciao Roberto
i think you have to have a mail transport agent like sendmail or postfix installed and configured on your asterisk box , however if you forward the mails to say hotmail or yahoo or gamil those servers will reject the mail transfere ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roberto Milani" <roberto.milani at sbcglobal.net> To: <asterisk-users at lists.digium.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2008 4:48 PM Subject: [asterisk-users] voicemail not sending emails> Hello list users > > I have a very nice installation of asterisk on a mac mini. > Everything seems to work fine, call works, vm works, even message > transfer works but asterisk doesn't send any email. > this is my voicemail.conf: > > [general] > > mailcmd=/opt/local/bin/msmtp -t; --from=myemail at server.ext > ;mailcmd=cat \> /tmp/asteriskvm-mail > format=wav > attach=yes > serveremail=from=myemail at server.ext > emailsubject=New message from ${VM_CALLERID} > emailbody=Hi, ${VM_NAME}!\n\nYou have a new message from $ > {VM_CALLERID} in mailbox ${VM_MAILBOX}. > fromstring=My Telephone System > > ;max and min length of a message > maxmessage = 180 > > maxlogins = 3 > > > [default] > 100 => 4711,Front Desk,roberto.milani at sbcglobal.net > > as you can see I'm using msmtp for mail and I tested it outside > asterisk an it works. > from the commented line you can se that I tried to cat the output to a > file but that never happens. > It really seems that asterisk don't send the emails. > > any suggestions? > > Thanks > Roberto > > _______________________________________________ > -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users >
