Using FreePBX 12.0.69
I wanted to buy the “Pro System Admin” just to configure email but never could go through the BUY process.
So I ended up following these instructions:
http://wiki.freepbx.org/display/L1/Setup+Postfix+Manually
At the end I used “sendmail” to test and it worked… I got a test email.
But even though everything is set up to send emails in the “extensions” the mails are not getting sent.
Any idea why?

postqueue -p will show you what you have queued.
look at your /var/log/mail log files
More than likely your upstream is either reject due to SPAM protection. Did you configure an SMTP forwarder in your postfix.conf file?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
When I was using SENDMAIL to test, I was checking the /var/log/maillog files and it was getting rejected because the sender’s email didn’t exist.
So I set it to rewrite the domain for all addresses from the local pbx, with /etc/postfix/generic, for @freepbx.localdomain
Then my test message with SENDMAIL would work.
However when I made the test to leave a voicemail, the message wouldn’t go through and nothing would appear in the logs.

So can anyone help me find out what’s wrong ?
send back the last parts of the output from this command , if any:
grep error /var/log/maillog

Goddamn it I found out what was wrong…
For some reason I didn’t anything see in maillog, nor in the queue.
But I checked again and noticed that FreePBX uses [email protected] to send mail
This email didn’t exist (the part before the @)
So I didn’t want to fiddle around and I just added an alias on my email hosting "[email protected] => [email protected]" and now it works.
Thanks all for your replies.
