GO HERE Incredible PBX No Email Outbound

[howie954]

OK, I have read some other posts on this same problem. I believe one person was having issues with the AvantFAX not sending the emails. In my case it is not the AvantFAX, its the Incredible PBX just simply not connecting to the email. I know AvantFAX is working fine because I can see it is sending and receiving faxes with no problem and it is attempting to email the faxes according to the log. I followed a suggestion Ward posted for someone else to try: echo "test" | mail -s testmessage [email protected] This is what I see in the log: Oct 23 15:35:41 noreply sendmail[27335]: t9NJZfMf027335: from=root, size=221, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=, relay=root@localhost Oct 23 15:35:42 noreply sm-mta[27338]: t9NJZgDc027338: from=, size=493, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA-v4, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1] Oct 23 15:35:42 noreply sendmail[27335]: t9NJZfMf027335: to=[email protected], ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30221, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0 I still very new at this and fumbling around so please excuse my ignorance.

Who is your Internet Service Provider?

Comcast/Xfinity

howie954 Comcast blocks downstream SMTP mail server (like us). To get SendMail working, you'll need to add your Comcast SMTP server as a SmartHost: smtp.comcast.net. Instructions here.

Tried that but it doesn't seem to work. I sure hope I didn't mess anything up.

You might be a bit more successful with this.

i always have trouble getting email out bound to work. I have best luck with it working using postfix and my gmail account as a reply
These instructions work perfect, if you are using Redhat distros like cent or scientific, use yum install instead of apt-get install

I also am on comcast, and it works fine
