Changing the voicemail email FROM address?

[kwriley87 (Kenny)]

I am using FreePBX Distro 14 on Asterisk 11

What is the correct process on changing the FROM email address that emailed voicemails are sent out as? Right now they are being sent out as [email protected] and I need to change this to a more realistic domain name so voicemails will not be classified as spam on our end.

Thanks,
Kenny

Hi Lorne

Thanks for the reply. I performed that process and the voicemail email FROM address didn’t change. Is there anything else that needs to be modified?

Here’s a snippet from the maillog of leaving a test voicemail after making that change:

Feb 13 17:21:16 ****** postfix/qmgr[17113]: 7636F22CAD: from=**<[email protected]>**, size=105678, nrcpt=1 (queue active)

I fixed my issue by configuring postfix to send with IPv4 only, but it’d still be nice to know how to change the voicemail FROM email address if anyone can shed some light

Did you ever find a solution?

[cynjut (Dave Burgess)]

If this didn’t work:

@lgaetz

Settings, Voicemail Admin, Settings tab, Email config tab, Server Email

you need to submit a ticket. This is how that is supposed to get set.

[lgaetz (Lorne Gaetz)]

Before submitting a ticket, first confirm the value is properly written to the file /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf.

Did we find the solution of this problem … I am having same issue .

Even though an email address is configured in ‘Serveremail’ it still send out FROM [email protected] and hence get rejected by external SMTP server …

Has anyone found a solution for this? I’ve found a number of suggestions online, but none of them work. No matter what I do my e-mails are from “asterisk@…”

@DSP55555

No matter what I do

Can you share with us what you did?

Also, please see this:

[DSP55555 (United States)]

I have confirmed that /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf has been updated with the proper value.

I followed all of the steps listed here to setup the voicemail e-mail.

Steps to getting FreePBX to work with Office 365 email

Introduction Using the Commercial System Admin module makes this a bit easier. It would still be possible to do this without the Commercial System Admin module, but you will need to configure many more options manually through editing the files of course. See “Setup Postfix Manually” (below) in the references section. Many of the Asterisk, FreePBX, Linux gurus out there don’t yet fully understand, is that Office 365 is more paranoid than most SMTP systems. It requires a few things before an em…

I also tried suggestions from a couple of other web sites, but I don’t recall which one.

[lgheorghe (Liviu)]

I’ve been struggling with the same issue for the past couple of days.
I have the correct/configured value for the FROM: email address in /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf, but emails go out from [email protected]
Can you please detail a little bit what you did to make it work for you?

[DSP55555 (United States)]

I never found a solution. I found several places that offered similar instructions but none of them fixed my problem.

[cynjut (Dave Burgess)]

Try ‘cd /etc’ and “grep -v [email protected] * */* */*/*”.

Those two commands should get you any file that has that string in it. Post the result and we’ll see what we can do.

[sorvani (Jared Busch)]

Then, I assume, you never contacted support either.

[DSP55555 (United States)]

I worked quite a while with support from the vendor who sold us the equipment, without any success. (I don’t think he had any idea how to setup emails for Office365.)

This is pretty low on my priority list, so I moved on to other things. The next step was to create a GMail account and give up on using Office365.

I think I have everything configured properly, but no matter what I do the “from” is “asterisk@” which Office365 rejects.

[PitzKey (Itzik)]

Try adding

[email protected] [email protected]

To /etc/postfix/generic

And then run

postmap /etc/postfix/generic
service postfix restart

I had already tried those steps, but I went through it again, just in case. Here is what I get from the debug page.
