Re: [asterisk-users] Mail Server
I´ve managed to put it to work, very simply. Just created an A DNS entry pointing to my system. This procedure validates the reverse lookup, gmail and others do, before accepting the mail in their inboxes. All my sendmail emails gets delivered with no need of smarthosts, therefore, no need to SSl or TLS auth. Sorry, for posting on the wrong list. When I started using asterisk I had no clue, whatsoever on Linux, and tought that as the problem arose when trying to build an asterisk server, that these should be the right forums. But thanks all for the help.

Re: [asterisk-users] Mail Server
Mike, Most newer Linux distro's use Postfix. It's simple to setup Postfix to use SMTP AUTH to send email. You need to figure out why the primary mail server is rejecting the emails and go from there. Contact me off list if you want more info. I think I have a quick how-to I wrote for myself on how to set Postfix to use SMTP AUTH when sending email. Lyle Giese LCR Computer Services, Inc.

Does your ISP provide an SMTP server you can use? If so, it's usually easiest to set that up as a smarthost and tell sendmail to send through that server. If this isn't an option, you need to make sure that your asterisk server has a valid publicly-available DNS record (and reverse DNS). That's most likely the reason the remote server is rejecting these emails. -erik ___ -- 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 ___ -- 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 ___ -- 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
