What everybody is trying to tell you is you need get this working from the command line before you do it in asterisk. The hardest part will probably be setting up your mail application. I found postfix the easiest to set up, but YMMV. In any event you've got to be able to use "mail" from the command line. Once you do that, then try using it with System() in asterisk. sean _______________________________________________ -- 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
