Voicemail to email feature works well and for a few road warriors - its a blessing.
However, it comes through by default as vm@asterisk which is an improperly formatted address to say the least. Outlook always blocks these messages on the user’s end.
How do I tweak this? I am not opposed to setting this up as a company email account, I just need some insight as to where to go…
Any help and/or hints are appreciated.
Take a look at the file:
/etc/asterisk/vm_general.inc
Bill/W5WAF
That’s the ticket.
Thanks!
Well actually… I guess it is in voicemail.conf
I tweaked the value here and bam… killed it. After changing the value to a proper email address, it no longer sends email(s).
However, if I put back the default line
servermail = vm@asterisk
Emails now function.
What am I missing here?
Here’s a copy of my file. I don’t recall doing anything else.
But it has been 3 years since I set it up.
