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
