Getting SMTP to work

I am using:
Operating System: Cisco Internetwork Operating System. Cisco IOS (tm) UC500
Cisco IOS Software: UC500-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M
Software Version: 12.4(11)XW4 / CME 4.2(0)

I have the mailboxes set up acording to several posts on here. I have it set to send an email notification when a voicemail arrives with attached wav file. I also have it set up to call my cell phone which is working just fine. I have the email set up the same way. I have the from email set up as well. I am using an IP address in the SMTP settings and I am not using authentication. I telneted to the uc500 and connected to my SMTP server and sent an email so I know it has access to it. It just does not seem to be trying to connect to the SMTP server. Does anybody have any ideas?

Also Check Group Rights

Also Check from the CUE Web GUI that your users are members group that has NOTIFICATION enabled. It has to be set at a group level to work.

FYI being a owner of a group does not give you the rights of a group. Owners just have rights to administer a group.

Don't forget to specify a From email address!

Getting SMTP to work

Do you have DNS set up on the Unity Express Module? If you are using a hosname for the SMTP relay, not an ip address, you will need valid dns setting in the CUE module.

I am unsure of how to look in CCA. However, from the command line on the UC500 issue the following.

service-module Integrated-Service-Engine 0/0 session

This will bring you to another login prompt. (for the Unity Express Module)

username/password is cisco/cisco by default.
goto enable mode, configuration mode and set the dns servers to appropriate ip addresses.

ena
conf t
ip name-server insert-ip-address-here 2nd-address-here and-so-on
exit

dont forget to save the conf with copy run start.

continue to exit until you return to the UC500 console session. then exit normally.
