Asterisk installer could probably stand to put a line in /etc/aliases mapping asterisk@ to root@, but as it is, asterisk@ is more of a clue as to the source of the email than an actual return path. ___ --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
Re: [asterisk-users] How to change sendmail return path
Yes did all that. I've configured sendmail before so know the basics. I tried modifying sendmail.mc and creating the sendmail.cf file and also tried modifying sendmail.cf directly. I always restart sendmail after changes. Would I need to create a noreply mailbox in sendmail perhaps? What creates the asterisk mailbox? Does that happen when I make asterisk? Maybe there are some clues in that script somewhere. -Original Message- From: Mojo with Horan Company, LLC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2007 10:39 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] How to change sendmail return path Tilghman Lesher wrote: On Wednesday 19 December 2007 17:44:15 shadowym wrote: I had high hopes for this solution for unfortunately it's not working.

Re: [asterisk-users] How to change sendmail return path
shadowym wrote: What creates the asterisk mailbox? Does that happen when I make asterisk? The return-path is set to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your asterisk process is running as the user 'asterisk', no? If so, that's why you're getting the return path set to 'asterisk'. I haven't used sendmail in about a decade, but (brain's digging deep into old memories now) I think you need to call sendmail with the -f option. Just checked the man page (man sendmail - you *did* look here, didn't you? ;) and came up with: -fname Sets the name of the ''from'' person (i.e., the envelope sender of the mail). This address may also be used in the From: header if that header is missing during initial submission. The envelope sender address is used as the recipient for delivery status notifications and may also appear in a Return-Path: header. -f should only be used by ''trusted'' users (normally root, daemon, and network) or if the person you are trying to become is the same as the person you are. Otherwise, an X-Authentication-Warning header will be added to the message. So there you have it. You not only need to add the asterisk user to the trusted users list, but you also need to make sure that whenever sendmail is being invoked, it's called with the -f option. I don't know if asterisk does this or not - perhaps others could confirm whether it does or doesn't, and where/if this can be changed.

Re: [asterisk-users] How to change sendmail return path
servermail= changes what shows up in the from section of the email. It doesn't change what shows up in the email header which is what the mail system looks at as the REAL return path. -Original Message- From: Mark Michelson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 11:57 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] How to change sendmail return path shadowym wrote: Is there a way to change the return path sendmail uses when sending out voicemail to email?
