In order to be able to send e-mail messages from your ipbx system you will need to make sure you have the correct settings set, so your receiving e-mail sender accepts your messages.

== Manual Configuration ==

=== Local Sendmail Daemon ===

If you haven't set your systems hostname yet, connect to your system via console or SSH and perform the following commands as root:

[root@ec2-ipbx ~]# nano /etc/sysconfig/network

Make sure you enter a valid hostname, in this case we are using ec2-ipbx.taridium.com as hostname:

HOSTNAME=ec2-ipbx.taridium.com
NETWORKING=yes

Then activate this change immediately:

[root@ec2-ipbx ~]# hostname ec2-ipbx.taridium.com
[root@ec2-ipbx ~]# service sendmail restart

This is important so the local sendmail daemon knows that the e-mails need to be sent to another server.

=== ipbx Voicemail Sender ===

Also make sure to use a valid sender address. To configure your voicemail system go to to '''System''' → '''Voicemail''' → '''General Settings''' in the administrator's interface and set your '''Server E-Mail Address''' to a valid e-mail address.

== Whitelisting ==

Depending on where you host your e-mail domain, you might be able to whitelist your ipbx system via IP address. This will ensure that no messages get caught in your SPAM filters. Review the documentation for your e-mail server or e-mail service for further details.

== Debugging ==

To debug voicemail to e-mail connect to the console or via SSH and review the sendmail log file while attempting to leave a voicemail message:

[root@ec2-ipbx ~]# tail -f /var/log/maillog
