How can I set up my system to send out emails?

[omar]

Hello
I created a voicemail entry in Admin --> Voicemail --> Add a New VoicemailEntry with the following options:
Voicemail ID: 2000
Password: *****
Name: Main voice mail inbox
Email: Myemail@outlook.com
Active: Y
Admin User Group: ---ALL---
Delete Voicemail After Email: N
Voicemail Greeting:
Voicemail Zone: eastern
Voicemail Options:
New Messages: 15
Old Messages: 1

And I can see and hear my voicemails from /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/2000/INBOX/. BUT no email message is sent to my Myemail@outlook.com acount.
The help Menu says: Email - This optional setting allows you to have the voicemail messages sent to an email account, if your system is set up to send out email. If this field is empty then no emails will be sent out. So the question is:

How can I set up my system to send out emails?


Thanks

I am not too familiar with it yet but did you configure it to point to a mail server? Most setups require that you point to a pop3 or imap server as they do not natively handle mail transfer.

check your mail logs. it must be a firewall issue

Code: Select all

tail /var/log/mail

you may also be experiencing spam filtering. after all, your vicidial server is not a registered mail system and the big servers may be reluctant to accept email from you.

did you check your spam box?
