Hi, guys I'm waiting on an important email to reach me, and this has tied me down to my desktop machine when I'd rather be doing other things. I have an IP04 Asterisk appliance from Rowetel hooked up to my lan and to my household phone system, and I was speculating (blue-skying) about using it to notify me when email arrived at my server.
A quick bit of research shows that, on a Linux system (like that in the IP04), the comsat and biff utilities provide desktop email arrival notification (comsat to receive the notification, biff to permit comsat to write the notification to the end-user's desktop). To me, right now, this would be a neat feature and great help; if my mail server could send a comsat message to a comsat tool running on the IP04, then the IP04 could (in theory) ring an extension and play a message when new email arrives. Has anyone here done anything like this on their Asterisk systems? Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? I'm an Asterisk newbie, and not immediately up to the task of crafting this sort of hack off the top of my head. -- Lew Pitcher Master Codewright & JOAT-in-training | Registered Linux User #112576 Me: http://pitcher.digitalfreehold.ca/ | Just Linux: http://justlinux.ca/ ---------- Slackware - Because I know what I'm doing. ------
