Amenment to my previous - sorry.
Just noticed it's the FROM (and not the TO) address that might be
suspect.
I think it gets the From from /etc/hostname

Don't forget that with a vanilla Debian installation, you have the
rather huge advantage of not using Sendmail ;-)

The trouble with FreePBX is that it butchers all the Asterisk config
files, so you may have some trouble finding what you're after, so 'grep
asterisk@ /etc/asterisk/*' might be handy. Also, if you go editing the
config files, some of them are rebuilt after you click the red bar when
making changes in the web interface.

And even if you don't click the red bar, when you restart the machine.

Cheers Dave,

Just recreated the hosts and hostname files with a different server
name, but it still gives the same error message - even after a reboot!

Thanks anyway!

[previous caveats apply - "I am not an expert" etc. - just my brain's
meanderings...]

I think this might be annoying me nearly as much as it is you!
Let's try another tack..

I wonder what that character that my newsreader is displaying as Pipe
really is?
Maybe it's a Linefeed (Hex 0A) character?

IIRC MTAs use linefeeds to separate the various lines of email
headers.
So MAYBE you've actually got *NO* Hostname at all.
Sendmail expects there to be something in there, but there isn't - so
it b*ggers up the parsing?

I wonder if

relates at all?

Cheers Dave.

Been through the example and recreated all my files as per the
instructions - exactly the same problem.

If i send and email from the box normally all is ok - so I guess the
zones and bits are ok. Its only when the voice mail module tries to
send an email....

This is driving me, and the users, mad!

Cheers

What MTA do you have on the box? Esndmail, Exim?
Maybe look at the logs.

(If it's any consolation, it's driving me mad too!)

SendMail 8.13.1

Does that help anyone?

My thoughts are that its still a typo in the asterisk config files.....
but I haven't a clue which one!

OK,

Managed to catch someone of the #freepbx irc channel.

After about 30 mins of checks and looking at files it was sorted....

Somehow, in the middle of the sendmail configuration file there was a
stray ascii character. We've no idea how it got there, but removing
and restarting sendmail proved successful!

Many thanks to all those who came up with possible solutions.

Cheers

Matthew

Glad you got it fixed...
