Another person had this same issue with an Ubuntu build system.  What 
version of automake and autoconf are present on that system?  Would you 
be able/willing to update to later versions (autoconf 2.6.3 or newer)?

msmtp should have worked out of the box after setting the relevant 
variables.

Yeah, these systems can push quite a bit through them if configured 
properly.

The zabbix agent will actually report some very detailed information 
back to a monitoring system.  I believe there is a virtual machine image 
available, but even if not, it's an easy install.  I've used it to 
troubleshoot and notify me of potential internet outages at clients as 
well as low free disk space and low memory.  Comes in handy when a 
client calls you up to say that 500MB of files are missing from the 
server.  I can look at the data and confirm that they were not deleted, 
but rather someone moved them to a different directory.

You might consider building an image without the sound files.  That will 
reduce the size of the image.  After booting the system, download and 
copy the core and moh files to /var/lib/asterisk/sounds|moh  We believe 
this will be a default in the future with a script to download and 
install the files post-install.
