Voicemail to email - that is the plan, anyway

FreePBX Installation / Upgrade
1

This is my first swipe at FreePBX and Asterisk so I have a lot to learn. Thanks for any help with this in advance :slight_smile:

I have a ‘relatively’ clean install of FreePBX 13.0.192.9 and postfix installed to relay through google . With help, I’ve managed to get it working with 2 trunks (google) and 2 extensions and now am trying to implement sending email notifications of a voicemail just left.

However, no email goes out. I’ve searched to find if I’m missing something in the configuration but ‘believe’ I have everything. Both extensions have a valid email address to send to and Voicemail->Settings->Email Config has a valid from: email address. Not knowing if a mailcmd entry was necessary or not, I’ve tried without and with ( /usr/sbin/sendmail -v -t -f [email protected] . I can send mail from the command line and freepbx sends mails when I do a backup - but I get nothing from a voicemail and there is no mention of any attempt to send any mail in the mail.log so certainly I’ve missed something BUT when I look at the asterisk console out, I notice that the scripts are exiting in a non-zero state after the voicemail is left. …is this normal or is indicating some other issue besides me simply missing a configuration entry? (edited console out of the entire session for your entertainment)

Mark this one solved :slight_smile:

Hi!

You can actually mark it solved yourself…

Under your post the first icon you will see is the one which lets you mark a specific post as the solution to your problem…

It looks like a little checkmark inside a box…

Have a nice day!

Nick

PS: It might be nice to let the others know what was the fix…

Aha! So I see I can mark a post as the one that solved the problem…that would mean of course that I would share my oversight (making this a user error) …but I don’t have a problem with that :grinning:

The problem was that the mailcmd was missing the first slash. I had pasted:

usr/sbin/sendmail -v -t -f [email protected]

rather than

**/**usr/sbin/sendmail -v -t -f [email protected]
