TIPS Unable to send emails or text when voicemail left on system

[Shadowfire]

Hello Gents and Ladies,

I am currently trying to setup email to text/pager. I have gone in to the /var/mail/asterisk file and I can see that it is internally trying to send out the messages via email or sms. But then it recieves the following errors:

(reason: 553 #5.1.8 Domain of sender address <[email protected]> does not exist)
(expanded from: <[email protected]>)

and

<<< 553 #5.1.8 Domain of sender address <[email protected]> does not exist
501 5.6.0 Data format error


Here is an example from /var/mail/asterisk file:

I have placed - pbx.hullcounselingpa.com in the /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 pbx.hullcounselingpa.com pbx.HAA.local localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 pbx.hullcounselingpa.com pbx.HAA.local localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.1.2 pbx.hullcounselingpa.com pbx.HAA.local pbx

I have placed - pbx.hullcounselingpa.com in the /etc/mail/local-host-names file.


I have reviewed a number of items in the forums on this ... including the following -

http://pbxinaflash.com/community/th...dresses-and-pager-addresses.14012/#post-89558

I understand it has to do with the pbx.hullcounselingpa.com, but I thought it I put ti in the local-host-names that it should resolve localy and send.

Can someone tell me where I am going wrong with getting the voicemails to send out to email and sms.

There is neither an A nor MX record for pbx.hullcounselingpa.com. The remote mail server is rejecting your mail because of the fake domain name. Add it to DNS or use a mail transfer service such as SendGrid or Mailgun (both free for low volumes).

You'll also need a PTR for reliable email delivery as per the relevant RFC.

Thanks for the reply Billsimon. I never have heard of SendGrid and MailGun. Thanks for the suggestion, I am looking into those right now.

Atsak good point, thanks.

So I am thinking I should probably use Ward's Tutorial he posted for gmail instead -

Tutorial Install gMail as SMTP Relay Host for SendMail
http://pbxinaflash.com/community/threads/install-gmail-as-smtp-relay-host-for-sendmail.974/

Oh yeah...do I a bandon this thread and start another? or just keep moving foward? Let me know... in the meantime I will move on with this thread...

So I am am stuck - because of the following....

Seem like everything has gone through till I get to the code part of Ward's Tut...

So I type in the following -

sed -i 's|sendmail-cf|sendmail\/cf' /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

and I get the following .....

sed: -e expression #1, char 26: unterminated `s' command
-bash: sed:: command not found

It was because on the Wards Tut he left out the | after cf. So I figured that out....but then I got to the following....

sed -i 's|sendmail-cf|sendmail\/cf|' /etc/mail/databases

and I get the following....

sed: can't read /etc/mail/databases: No such file or directory

Obviously this is telling me I have no file named databases in the /etc/mail. In which I check and it is correct that there is not file named databases. I am unsure of how to get that file created in that directory. Anyone have idea?

I get the same for

sed -i 's|sendmail-cf|sendmail\/cf|' /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.errors

and I get the following...

sed: can't read /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.errors: No such file or directory

Once again telling me the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.errors does not exist and is not in that folder...

once again why is the file not there and how can I get them both databases and sendmail.cf.error in the directory?


Thanks,
-SF-

Abandon sendmail. Install postfix instead (yum remove sendmail ; yum install postfix OR apt-get remove sendmail ; apt-get install postfix) and then follow the very simple instructions for relaying through Sendgrid (https://sendgrid.com/docs/Integrate/Mail_Servers/postfix.html), Mailgun (https://community.rackspace.com/products/f/28/t/63), or GMail (https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/configure-postfix-to-use-gmail-as-a-mail-relay/)

I installed postfix and was moving forward to get this working, but I had to jump to something else. I am not thinking of reloading my system keeping original HDD and use another drive with new install, I will see how far I get and if I run in to the same issue I will step though your suggestions again.

Thanks,
