I’m trying to configure email notifications from System Admin Pro.
After struggling with authentication and TLS setting, now the issue is that I can’t see a way to setup the sender ermail address and display name in System Admin Pro.
This address doesn’t match the mailbox ot the mail server (something like [email protected]) created and shared by all services needing to send transactional email.
The message from FreePBX is refused because the sender doesn’t match.
I would like to setup notification system so that email are sent:
from an address compatible with the mailbox address like [email protected]
with a human readable display name, for example “My Company PBX”, not asterisk@…
This would be used by all pbx sub-services like voicemail notification, missed calls, user manager, sangoma talk…
If you want to replace “asterisk”, you have to do it by editing a config file…dont know if it really works.
But I would just use different email domains for every server. You can name the server in the text of the email…or at the receiving side (add the email address to your addressbook).
I simply need that all emails from FreePBX are sent from a single email address that match the credentials of the mailbox recognezed by the smtp server.
I have a single account for all my services (not only freepbx). The mailbox credentials are for [email protected] so all email from freepbx services (and all other services in the network) should be sent from [email protected] otherwise will be rejected.
pbx.mydomain.tld is not a mail domain recognized. [email protected] will never be accepted as a sender if mailbox credentials are for [email protected].
Yes, but currently you cannot change the “asterisk@…” using the web-GUI. You would have to create/edit two config files. I guess somebody would have to open a support ticket or a bug report!
But given the fact that apprently FPBX try to send email from pbx.mydomain.td (non localhost.localdomain), I suppose I should adapt the former instructions?
Do you know if those changes survive debian/freepbx upgrades?
Do you know if the alias created by previous instructions cover all possible senders used by various modules in FreePBX? or there it could be any other sender address used that in the future prevent mail delivery?
Note that in place of [email protected] should be the email you want to send from, and the one entry with [email protected] you should replace with your fqdn.
Postfix configurations normally persist through module and OS upgrades, but always good to have a backup.
