[email protected] AMP & Sendmail

Does anyone have any simple explanation of how to get the [email protected] server to send
email notification of voicemail?

............or step by step instructions for installing Perl, so that I can
install Webmin?

TIA.

 

Well I dont know how *@h does it but Asterisk just uses the internal mail
server of the Linux box, so does *@h install a mail server ? easy test is to
type " mail <email address> " and see if that gets delivered make sure
thats working correctly then all should work OK, I know on my server I had
to do a bit of editing to get it correct. Then all you need to do is add the
users email address to the users entry into voicemail.conf.

I dont think there is a webmin plugin for asterisk that works for free. But
for other tasks Webmin is Ok, But slower than using the command line.

Could it be time to install a full linux install and asterisk from source
;-) ?

Hello Ian,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, Sendmail is installed, however, I have no idea how to make it /send/
mail.

Where do I put SMTP details etc.?

Webmin is supposedly capable of making the setup really easiy -
unfortunately, the instructions say that Perl must be installed.

From the CLI how do I
a) check whether Perl is installed?
b) install Perl?

Not sure a full linix install & asterisk form source would be good for me at
the moment!

 

You dont realy, You are the smtp server so so long as the * has access to a
DNS server it will deliver the message to the user.

what happens if you type mail at the command line?

pkginfo (if its there) or rpm -q or what ever the debian comand may be.

What version of lnux does *@h install ? is it knoppix ? or DSL, or another
debian distro?

? Do you mean it should just send to any email address, without any details,
except the recipient's address? All my users are outside the LAN, so to
speak, using POP.

Don't know. I'll have to wait until I get home.

Does Cent-OS mean anything? When I installed a modem, the "Red Hat Found New
Hardware" control appeared.

Thanks for your patience.

 

Yes, So will got to and ian would go to
[email protected]_myserver_domian_is .

Yep so type rpm -q perl and hopefully it will return what version is
installed or tell you its not installed..

No worries, It beats thinking about remote snmp alarm delivery, :-( and
finding why suppliers havent delivered parts I need to ship an order :-(

Hello again Ian,

Assuming when I type rpm -q perl the reply is that I haven't got Perl, how
do I install it?

I've downladed the perl.tar.gz, I know how to copy it to the [email protected]
box.............

where should I copy it to & how do I execute it?

 

If its based on centos, can you start X up ? if so you should get a RPM pkg
manager. I am supprised that perl is not loaded. I assume appache is ?

What do get if get if you browse https://yourip:10000 ?

 

Hi,

Doesn't help much but without any extra config the voicemail sends me email
notifications with attachments. All I have set is an email address in the
voicemail section of the extension setup page. I'm using *@H version 0.8 .
Is it possible that a firewall is blocking the traffic?

Roly.

 

Installing webmin is pretty easy, download it (something like
webmin-1.180-1.noarch.rpm) and copy to your asterisk server, maybe to /tmp.
cd to /tmp then type rpm -U webmin-1.180-1.noarch.rpm. The CentOS will be
seen as Redhat Linux 3.0ES, login at http://your*ipaddress:10000.

Steve

Ta.

Now got Webmin working - the address the CLI suggested I should use was
https://asterisk1.localhost:10000 (or similar) However,
http://serverIP:10000 is the only one that works.

http://serverIP:10000 worked - had to drop the s

Thanks.

Perl was included in the distro, BTW.

Can't get send mail to work, though.

Hello Roly,

Yes, I expected email to be sent by merely putting the address in the
voicemail section of the extension config.

Alas, no.

 

Hmm all my servers use https for webmin, I had asumed they all did perhaps
centos isnt as security concious.

What do you get if you type "mail" at the comand prompt ?

Also what does the maillog show you. you should be able to view this in
webmin.

Interestingly, the mail is now being bounced back as undeliverable - here's
a copy of the bounce:

The original message was received at Thu, 26 May 2005 13:59:30 -0400
from asterisk1.local [127.0.0.1]

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<>

did you snip the dot between co and uk ?

sender verification - needs an address than can be resolved by DNS ?

Yes, albeit accidentally.

Where on earth do I enter it?

 

it had

||| <<< 550-Verification failed for <>

so if you have called the box "asterisk1" maybe you should call it
"asterisk1.mydomain.co.uk" alternatively can you point the emailer at
the ISPs SMTP server ?
