Hi, I am have asterisk at home version 2.5 and configuring it directly through .config files. Which works fine for me. I would like to set the voicement up so that voice mail deposits are emailed to the respective users. attached is an extract from my voicemail.conf file. but I do not know where to set up the email SMTP settings to make this work. If you could point me in the right direction for this I would be grateful. Thanks in anticipation. Marro.

I am pretty sure it just uses sendmail on the local box to send the messages.
