As far as I know asterisk won't talk directly to an SMTP server.

All you have to do is set sendmail to relay all mail through your exchange server (the DS directive in sendmail.cf) and then you are sorted, the only difference between it directly talking to the exchange server is one extra 'Received from' header on the e-mail.

An of course, its SMTP that I need.

I don't want sendmail to send mail to the exchange server, I want to use the
exchange server to send the mail in the first place !

What I want to do is forget about sendmail, and make an account on the
exchange server for asterisk to send mail from.

Can that be done ?

Thanks, Paul.

IMAP and POP3 are used for the MUA to get access to a mailbox. They are not used for delivering messages to a mailbox, but for reading message out of a mailbox.

What you are looking for, is an SMTP gateway.  Sendmail is an SMTP MTA that
can be configured to send the email (via SMTP/ESMTP) to the Exchange server.

All you really need to do is have the DNS MX records for foo.com pointing to
your Exchange server.  Then, in voicemail.conf you would have the email
address set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Of course, change foo.com to whatever your domain, for the Exchange server,
is. And, make sure you have the SMTP connector configured for Exchange.
