Rogers Home Internet makes it even more complicated now. They long ago
blocked SMTP direct connections to the outside.
A quick test is to do a telnet to port 25 (SMTP) (most usefully to a mail
server somewhere beyond your ISP) and see if you get a connection:
# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 bigblack.localdomain ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.2/8.14.2; Sun, 14 Dec 2008
12:27:24 -0500
If it is going to work you'll always get a message that starts with "220"
(in this case this is the local sendmail on the machine I executed the
command on - this should always work if your mail process is running).
For quite some time Rogers has also required that all outbound SMTP
connections be authenticated with the same username and password that you
use to download your email with POP3 (or to log into the web interface).
While it is supposed to be possible to do this with late-model versions of
sendmail I've yet to make it work in the time I've been able to devote to
it. Postfix is supposed to support this with less effort, but again I
haven't had the time to check it out.
Business class Internet services don't require this since they allow port 25
(SMTP) connections outbound - at most you may find a need to modify the
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc file by setting the SMART_HOST value, doing a make and
restarting the sendmail daemon.

Hi,
1. Are you able via the Linux commentd line to login and upload a file to
the directory you have set in amportal.conf? Using the same credentials
and upload path.
2. This is build-il but will rely on sendmail. If you plan to use
something other than sendmail, you need to change the SEDNMAIL defile in
voicemail.c in the apps directory, then recompile/re-install asterisk.
What are the reject messages in var/log/maillog when asterisk tries to
send an e-mail to gmail?
Unless you have a business account with Rogers, you need to send the
e-mails via their SMTP servers and this is done bt the smart_host settings
in the sendmail config.
You can test your sendmail config by executing the folloqing command:
sendmail [email protected] </etc/amportal.conf
Replace the [email protected] by your e-mail address then see what's
the result in /var/log/maillog

Hi all, I have a couple of problems I'm working through that I can't seem
to resolve.
1.) FTP Backup to another (Windows Server)
Freepbx has a backup and restore feature that will save to a backup
directory or
an FTP server (by editing config in Amportal.conf). I have managed to get
the server to log on and go into
passive mode transfer but it just hangs there and times out. (no
warnings).
Am I missing anything?..Anything I should check?
2.) Sending Vmail as attachments. I am completely confused by this...
Do I need to have sendmail enabled or does * have this feature?
Voicemails are saved and can be retrieved by *97 or by the "User" web
interface but
I am having problems sending it as an attachment. Mail gets sent to a
google account but gets rejected.
My ITSP is Rogers so I not sure if they allow SMTP or do I need to relay.
Confused:
