Thanks Matt! It's a multi-tenant system and basically I just wanted to customize the look of the From info in the emails.
For everyone's reference, I think I have at least found a direction to go on this. I am thinking I will redirect the job of mailing the file to a custom script at some point which should then allow me to do pretty much whatever I want. After searching for a way to have Asterisk send the attachments as mp3 files, I came across lots of interesting stuff that will allow me to do just about anything with the emails that are sent out. --Todd On Fri, Dec 16, 2011 at 1:02 PM, Matthew Jordan <mjor...@digium.com> wrote: > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Matthew Jordan" <mjor...@digium.com> > > To: "Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion" < > asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> > > Sent: Friday, December 16, 2011 12:57:43 PM > > Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] fromstring in voicemail.conf > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > > > From: "Todd Routhier" <fonema...@gmail.com> > > > To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > > > Sent: Friday, December 16, 2011 11:32:31 AM > > > Subject: [asterisk-users] fromstring in voicemail.conf > > > > > I have attempted to set the fromstring option on a per context > > > basis > > > in voicemail.conf but it doesn't seem to work.
