asterisk users - Jul 2008 - Voicemail email to alternative ports...

The main DSL provider in Mexico is no blocking access to port 25 so the
email notification for voicemail is stuck in the server.

	I suppose that I have to change the sendmail configuration so it can
send email to an alternative port but I wanted to ckeck first if there
is an option to do it from the voicemail.conf file.

Asterisk seems to call a local sendmail running on the host that asterisk 
is running on, so you need to get that incanation of sendmail (or whatever 
sendmail look-a-like you're using) to relay the email using a different 
port.

However, why don't you get the local sendmail to simply relay outgoing 
email via the ISPs mailservers than get it to send email directly? That's 
what you probably ought to be doing anyway.

This is an m4 sendmail.mc template you might want to use:

divert(-1)
divert(0)dnl
OSTYPE(linux)
FEATURE(nullclient, RELAY_HOST)
MASQUERADE_AS(MASQ_HOST)


Substitute RELAY_HOST for your ISPs email server (smtp.telecomabmex.com ?) 
and MASQ_HOST for your local domain (maybe just telecomabmex.com)
