Email Setup & Feature Codes

Posted by rfrantik on Sun, 11/21/2010

I've got my demo system up and running with trunks and phones. Trying to figure out where to customer the email portion of the server? It will send out voicemails as emails, evidently from it's own internal sendmail server. Is there a way to have it send out from another server? I also couldn't find the config file for the email message itself?

I've also adjusted some of the feature codes and them seem to be working correctly, but I'm not up on the syntax. I'm familiar with NXX, etc... but what does '_7X.' really mean? I'm guessing '_' means there is something leading, the '7' is the feature code, 'X' means we are expecting a number 0-9, and the '.' means to keep listening for numbers till the user stops dialing?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

_ means pattern, not literal alpha characters. A "." means match any number of 1 or more numbers. A "!" means match any number of zero or more numbers. A "Z" means any number 1-9, a "N" means any number 2-9, and "X" means any number 0-9.

Good stuff, of course I logged into Webmin and clicked on Sendmail, got an error... Sendmail not installed. Checked the /var/log/maillog and found that Postfix is sending all the emails, oops.

But I googled 'postfix config as smarthost' and found several examples of how to do the same thing with postfix. I should be able to figure it out from here.

Thanks!
