Thanks Colin. That makes sense, but how do I modify this? I am no Linux expert, but the passwd file doesnt seem to conatain any SMTP configuration.
When you said "run non-root", you meant Asterisk or Sendmail running as non-root? Mike ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- 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" _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
