There's no problem setting up vm on *. I can't use email off the 
instance, since the assigned ip address doesn't have a PTR.

It looks too much like spam. The mail relays drop it.

Would configuring your own (or your ISP's) smarthost help?

This is a very common problem that is usually solved by configuring your 
asterisk server to send all mail through a valid email server (known as 
smarthost in postfix or sendmail).  You can even configure your server 
with valid credentials to log in in case they are needed.  Just google 
"smarthost (your mail daemon)" and you will get plenty of help.  This
is
much easier than trying to run external scripts to copy the voicemail.

Of course if you want to do it the hard way you can always configure 
voicemail to use a database backend and then simply sync the database to 
another server.
