I had the same problem and was advised to can sendmail and switch to postfix, which I've never had trouble with.Since all the asterisk program needs to do is send mail through smtp, and since using sendmail for this purpose is a bit like using Jeff Gordon's racing engine on a bicycle we opted to scrap sendmail and use msmtp. This is basically just an smtp engine. To our mail server, it looks just like any other smtp client. It's very easy to set up. After you have it working from the command line, simply remove the sendmail startup from init.d, rename the sendmail executable (I renamed mine sendmail.orig, and it's in /usr/sbin). msmtp installs itself in /usr/local/bin, so I created a link in the sbin directory to link msmtp to the filename sendmail in sbin. (ln -s /usr/local/bin/msmtp /usr/sbin/sendmail). That way whenever a program calls sendmail, it is in reality calling msmtp. It works like a charm.
Hope this helps Bill

Hi all,
Can someone point me in the right direction to configuring sendmail to work with Asterisk voicemail and faxes?
I did a bit of research on the web but came up more confused that when I started.
It's the basic setup I'm having trouble with, where to add the SMTP and login and user name to sendmail to use a smart host in getting v-mail and faxes to the people they are going to.
Thanks in advance.

Here's how I did it::
Here is how you can switch MTAs and configure postfix (assumes WBEL is the distro):
0. Install redhat-switch-mail (as root, if you don't have it):
yum install redhat-switch-mail
1. Run (as root):
redhat-switch-mail
Select "Postfix"
2. Edit (with vi, as root) /etc/postfix/main.cf
such that:
mydomain = yourdomain.com
and:
myorigin = $mydomain
3. As root:
service postfix restart
Hope this helps. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
