Re: [asterisk-users] send voicemail to multiple emails

Re: [asterisk-users] send voicemail to multiple emails
On Friday 08 Apr 2011, vip killa wrote: Is there a way for asterisk's voicemail to send an email (including voicemail attachment) to multiple email addresses? It's probably easiest to set up a user on your mail server to receive the voicemail messages that are meant for multiple recipients, then just use a procmail recipe on that user's account to send copies to everyone else who needs one. Something like this; :0: * From:.*asterisk !anna@localhost bob@localhost char...@some.place.else dave@localhost This is all from memory, so be sure to read `man procmail` . To save space on the mail server, you might want to pipe it through a script which strips off the attachment and saves it to a password-protected folder where apache can serve it up by HTTP, then notify the intended recipients with a short message (but note I grew up in the days of kilobytes aot gigabytes, so this might be overkill). -- AJS Answers come *after* questions. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] send voicemail to multiple emails
I've already taken the steps you described...issue i ran into was there is no variables passed to mailcmd only STDIN... as a result i have to extract variables from STDIN...

That does not sound easy... besides these email addresses would be taken from a MySQL database. The easiest way would be to set up an alias in your MTA configuration.

Aliasing email addresses to multiple addresses is not a problem for me, so I shared what I know. You could also just replace the mailcmd (usually sendmail -t) with a script that you wrote (or even application, if you care to compile something) that would take care of the functionality you wish. If you don't think that's easy, just ignore my message, we're not here to compare skill levels. -- Sherwood McGowan sherwood.mcgo...@gmail.com Carrier, ITSP, Call Center, and PBX Solutions Consultant -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
