sending a voicemail to multiple e-mails

what did you try to email? your machine has a hostname, something in /etc/hosts so you need to email that user

something@localhost.localdomain

Yes, I have ip names correlated on /etc/hosts file. So, I'm using user@localhost and user is a two e-mails on /etc/aliases. Newaliases has been executed with no errors, and just in case I did a service sendmail restart.

If I leave a voicemail on the extension where user@localhost is the defined e-mail for voicemail, I don't receive anything.

Thanks for your help

as far as i know you could only send VM 2EM to a single email address if you want you could set a rule on your email server to forward a copy to multiple email address

On a standard Asterisk version, you can put multiple e-mails separated by spaces and that works.

I don't know (and don't wont to modify Voicemail.conf by hand) how to modify Voicemail.conf can affect the Thirdlane add-on. If you try to do it from the GUI it reports as a wrong e-mail address type.

I don't know and I didn't found any specs about the Other Voicemail options since all the docs says is look at Asterisk. That doesn't help at all.

THanks

it doesn't seem to be an option to do it multiple emails

you've done something wrong then for sure because I am doing that at my house. My analog FXO port rings a ring group and if not answered goes to a mailbox extension

102 => xxxxxx,House Extension,housephones@myfqdn.org,,attach=yes|delete=no

in /etc/aliases I have

housephones: eeman@myworkemail.net,tina@myfqdn.org

did you look at your maillog to see what happened? This is more of a sendmail (or exim or postfix depending on distribution) issue as app_voicemail.so just executes sendmail for delivery.

have you tested with the mail command from shell?

you never mentioned what distribution you are using?

for some damn reason the ISO chose postfix which does not honor the etc/aliases. Granted postfix will out perform sendmail, exactly how much performance does one plan to saddle a PBX with? As an ISP we used sendmail as our core mail server from 1994 to 2002 with little issue. Considering the pbx is not designed to be a massive mail server, sendmail listening only on 127.0.0.1 would have been more than sufficient.

Ok, About versions I have CentOS 5.2 x86_64, Asterisk 1.4.22, sendmail is using m4. And I'm guessing I have something wrong, but I didn't found it. Yes I tried from CLI, and it send both e-mails.

So, my guess was if there are an overriding on the Webmin GUI of the voicemail.conf, as can happen on realtime systems.

I'm not trying to do an SMTP or POP server, only need to send each voicemail to the original destination and a specific box for security reasons that needs to be storage (It is required by FDIC on this kind of companies).

Thanks

I'll check everything again

does the storage have to be local instead of on the remote mail server? In other words could you not run the alias on the fully qualified mail server instead of trying to do it locally? however, local delivery should still work.

I never see this problem 'cause if my customer wants it sent to multiple targets, I have them provision a mail list or email aliases for a 'dummy address' that the system uses to send. Then I let them worry about the member list.
