I've not been following this thread, but will add some comments as they relate to email not being deliverable outbound via sipxecs. If this is DNS related - this response doesn't touch that.
I find it useful in v4.4 to add the Emailformats.properties files to sipxecs. http://wiki.sipfoundry.org/display/sipXecs/Voicemail-Email+Custom+Notificati ons It will allow you to set the Sent from email address to one that is acceptable to the your SMTP gateway. After installing the sample, and changing your from address, do a "service sendmail restart", and do a restart of sipxconfig. Looking at var/log/maillog can give you some clues as to why it is not being delivered. Pay attention to the to and from address, the DNS codes give some great google clues as well. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2012 10:20 PM To: Discussion list for users of sipXecs software Subject: Re: [sipx-users] Sendmail Issue You said your SIP domain is the same as your email domain, and that your DNS is hosted at Network Solutions. This is likely the issue and not a problem with sendmail unless you've borked the default configs. Sendmail in that use case would be used to deliver the email and not to receive it. There are lots of reasons why sendmail wouldn't be able to deliver email but that discussion is outside the scope for a sipxecs mailing list. Verify easily that sendmail is working in the first place by using an alternate email address for the below test with a known good address like gmail, yahoo, etc. $ echo "testing 123" | mail -s "sipx email test" [email protected] && tail -f /var/log/maillog You should see successful delivery in the mail log (press ctrl-c to stop tailing it), and within a few seconds or minutes the email should arrive in your inbox. Be sure to check your junk mail folders for the email if you don't spot it quickly. If you have successful delivery of the test email then sendmail is working just fine and it's a local DNS issue. To verify this is the case (replace example.com with your real domain) : $ dig @localhost mx example.com then compare against what the rest of the world has for your MX by using an outside DNS such as Google : $ dig @8.8.8.8 mx example.com If they don't match you'll need to edit your zone file, correct the MX record, then restart BIND. $ service named restart Repeat the dig test to verify they're the same now. You may want to consider the use of the smart_host config option of sendmail. To do so your "real" email server will need to allow mail relay from your sipx box. Optionally you could reconfigure sipx to use a different SIP domain all together or a subdomain of your real domain (voice.example.com instead of example.com).

But when I try to telnet mydomain.com 25 I get that the connection is refused by 127.0.0.1 still. Tried the same thing on my new server and its not working either. Did some other research on Google and cant seem to find why this is happening. -- Tommy Laino Dome Technologies _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users/ _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users/ _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users/
