Maybe I am misunderstanding what you did here, but I just want to make sure... First, in the "network' file, the goal was to change the hostname from "localhost.localdomain" reference to a real hostname that would be accepted, so that the file would look more like: NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=asterisk.mydomain.com And the other poster was recommeding that the hosts file, should be setup to point the loopback address to that name as well, such as adding (or modifying the existing 127.0.0.1 line to look like: 127.0.0.1 asterisk.mydomain.com Another thing to do, would be to go to your /etc/mail/access file [vi /etc/mail/access] ahd make sure, or add your localhost as a trusted machine for sendmail.. From this link http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-hn/sendmail.htm I am reading/recommending that you put lines such as these in your "access" file: localhost.localdomain RELAY localhost RELAY 127.0.0.1 RELAY
If your "access" file isn't in the /etc/mail directory, you may have to do a "locate access" to find it.. "locate" will only work if you have sometime in the past run an "updatedb" to build the hard drive's index for the locate to work on it... Hope this helps.. -Steve ________________________________ From: hugolivude [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon 3/20/2006 10:14 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: problems with emailing voicemail Guys, Thanks again for all your help. I've updated /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/hosts as per your suggestions: /etc/sysconfig/network: NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain 127.0.0.1 <my external, static IP address> asterisk localhost /etc/hosts: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 127.0.0.1 <my external, static IP address> asterisk localhost But still no luck. I've also noticed a problem when I boot the server. Sendmail along with a number of other processes generate an errror message. They're all pretty much the same error message and same line number so here's an example: etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit error line 3: 127.0.0.1 command not found FWIW, I've included the first part of my etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit below. I'm stumped. This was working before, what could have possibly happened? Any other ideas on how to fix it before I go and re-install RedHat??

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. -----Original Message----- From: hugolivude [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 17, 2006 10:49 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: problems with emailing voicemail 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 On 3/17/06, Steve Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 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. ________________________________ From: Tony Mountifield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 3/17/2006 10:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Re: problems with emailing voicemail In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >, hugolivude <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm running a 1.1 version of Asterisk (a stable build from back in Oct-05) > running on RedHat 9.0 .

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.
