You can also modify the passwd file in /etc to put a friendly name on the SMTP envelope instead of "root" b/c some spam filters will block even if the email address is ok but the sender is "root"
Best practice is to run non-root though. I have an "Asterisk" user and an "Asterisk" group. If you modify your passwd file appropriately after setting your Asterisk account you can get very friendly names like "Company XYZ phone system" -----Original Message----- From: Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2005 1:39 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Voicemail and sendmail It seems that in both the 1.0 line and the 1.2 line, the [general] section of voicemail.conf has an option: ; Who the e-mail notification should appear to come from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Moj Michaël Gaudette wrote: > Hi, > > I`m a beginning Asterisk and Sendmail user.
