if you are using Sendmail, then you have to add a trusted user to /etc/sendmail.cf in the format:
 
Tuser
 
So if the user you run Asterisk under is called "asterisk" then you add Tasterisk to sendmail.cf. Restart Sendmail. Then in voicemail.conf you can set the email address to whatever you want, it's at the top of the config file, I believe.

Wow, Thanks so much for all your help.  I tried Steve's suggestion using tail and found:

from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, ...
stat=Deferred: 450 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found

So it looks like the sender email is no longer acceptable.  This worked fine b4, so perhaps the ISP taking care of the callees email has changed its policy?  Anyway, I could use a hand on how to fix this.  How do I get Asterisk to use a valid email address rather than [EMAIL PROTECTED]?

Many Thanks,
Hugh

Do a "tail -f /var/log/maillog" which will give you a  real-time view of your mail server activity, then while that's running, leave yourself a voicemail.

The first place to look would be in /var/log/maillog on the box.

Look particularly around the time when a voicemail should have been sent.
