Voicemail to email not delivered

Hi,

Sendmail configuration is tested, and relaying works just fine. But, when leaving a voicemail message, the email is not sent due to the fact that asterisk is not taking info account the “serveremail” I configured.

It always uses asterisk@aster.home in stead of my configured serveremail=asterisk@somedomain.com

Here the logs:

What am I missing here?

Thx,

Hi

Basicly you need to get your servers hostname correct .

drupal.org/node/1155 has a bit of info. and if you google the error thats in the log

“DSN: Data format error” you will find lots more help and many different ways to fix it

Hi Ian,

Thank you for your message. Indeed I have been looking on the web for a solution and there are indeed a lot of causes for this problem.
The problem is not in my hostname or sendmail configuration.

If I test my sendmail config via “telnet localhost 25” and sending an email from cli, it all works fine and the correct from address is used, I can choose any from address as long as it is on the correct format…

The problem here is that in voicemail.conf I have defined the serveremail in the user@server.xxx format, and asterisk is not using it. In stead it is just using from:asterisk.

Regards,
Johan

Here a post from someone with the same issue:

forums.digium.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6863

My serveremail is also defined under [general] …

Have you set up domain masquerading ?

It is a sendmail config “problem” we have seen it many many times. and normally just use domain masquerading.

Ian

I have looked into masquerading the from domain, and it didn’t resolve the issue…
I used MASQUERADE_AS(mydomain.com)

It still shows from asterisk@aster.home

Hi

Did another test using telnet and, masquerading doesn’t look to be the issue here. Relaying works fine…
Other possible causes?

From the docs:

serveremail: Serveremail sets the e-mail address that voicemail-waiting e-mails
should appear to originate from. This value will be used in the ‘From:’ field of the
e-mail.

It is clearly not doing this?

BUG?
