The Asterisk box is on an internal network so instead of asterisk.mydomain.com I tried using our external fixed IP address. The error messages have disappeared, but I'm still not getting email.
Just for fun I changed the email I'm using in voicemail.conf to my gmail account and it worked!! When I use our work email though, it doesn't work here's the error I see using the 'tail' command:

Maybe I am misunderstanding what you did here, but I just want to make sure... First, in the "network' file, the goal was to change the hostname from "localhost.localdomain" reference to a real hostname that would be accepted, so that the file would look more like:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=asterisk.mydomain.com
And the other poster was recommeding that the hosts file, should be setup to point the loopback address to that name as well, such as adding (or modifying the existing 127.0.0.1 line to look like:
127.0.0.1 asterisk.mydomain.com
Another thing to do, would be to go to your /etc/mail/access file [vi /etc/mail/access] ahd make sure, or add your localhost as a trusted machine for sendmail.. From this link http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-hn/sendmail.htm I am reading/recommending that you put lines such as these in your "access" file:
localhost.localdomain RELAY
localhost RELAY
127.0.0.1 RELAY
If your "access" file isn't in the /etc/mail directory, you may have to do a "locate access" to find it.. "locate" will only work if you have sometime in the past run an "updatedb" to build the hard drive's index for the locate to work on it...
Hope this helps..

Guys,
Thanks again for all your help. I've updated /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/hosts as per your suggestions:
/etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
127.0.0.1 <my external, static IP address> asterisk localhost
/etc/hosts:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 <my external, static IP address> asterisk localhost
But still no luck. I've also noticed a problem when I boot the server. Sendmail along with a number of other processes generate an errror message. They're all pretty much the same error message and same line number so here's an example:
etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit error line 3: 127.0.0.1 command not found
FWIW, I've included the first part of my etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit below.
I'm stumped. This was working before, what could have possibly happened? Any other ideas on how to fix it before I go and re-install RedHat??
Thanks,
Hugh

if you are using Sendmail, then you have to add a trusted user to /etc/sendmail.cf in the format:
Tuser
So if the user you run Asterisk under is called "asterisk" then you add Tasterisk to sendmail.cf. Restart Sendmail. Then in voicemail.conf you can set the email address to whatever you want, it's at the top of the config file, I believe.

Wow, Thanks so much for all your help. I tried Steve's suggestion using tail and found:
from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED] >, ...
stat=Deferred: 450 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found
So it looks like the sender email is no longer acceptable. This worked fine b4, so perhaps the ISP taking care of the callees email has changed its policy? Anyway, I could use a hand on how to fix this. How do I get Asterisk to use a valid email address rather than [EMAIL PROTECTED]?
Many Thanks,
Hugh

Do a "tail -f /var/log/maillog" which will give you a real-time view of your mail server activity, then while that's running, leave yourself a voicemail.

The first place to look would be in /var/log/maillog on the box.
Look particularly around the time when a voicemail should have been sent.
Cheers
