I’m running the latest FreePBX Distro.
Postfix is not honoring the severemail setting in voicemail.conf (or in the Voicemail Admin module). As a result, e-mails are being sent by asterisk@new-host-(whatever).localdomain and are being rejected.
Here’s what I’ve done:
nano hosts
add:
127.0.0.1 MYDOMAIN.com
From FreePBX GUI, changed severemail from settings page of voicemail admin so that from address is "[email protected]"
Did an amportal restart. Then tried a reboot.
Left a voicemail message for myself.
/etc/log/maillog shows that emails are still coming from “asterisk@new-host-…”. Emails are rejected by receiving server because they’re not coming from a valid e-mail address.
From what I’ve read, it appears that this is a consequence of running Asterisk as asterisk user instead of root. It appears that Postfix is refusing to allow the asterisk user to use a different e-mail address.
As a workaround, I’ve edited /etc/postfix/main.cf and added “myorigin=MYDOMAIN.com.” This allows the messages to out as "[email protected]". When I receive the messages, the “From” header shows the “serveremail” setting, but the “returnpath” header still has "[email protected]."
