my sip trunk provider has given me a user name sip123456 when I configure that siip trunk as a gateway, I can make calls out no problem but I cannot receive any inbound calls! Now I did a lot of investigation and I found out that the user name has to be set as the telephone number for inbound calls to work, is there any other ways to overcome that issue in freeswitch, as my SIP trunk provider is unwilling to change the user name to the matching telephone number?
For information I am unable to provide a log as the call does not even reach freeswitch, my provider does not wish to provide a trace, also this issue happens in Asterisk, and Fusionpbx too! Now to make sure that my findings were correct, I used a different provider with another client, which uses telephone number as the user name, and my configuration works on both incoming and outgoing. I'm sure you would say to dump the other SIP provider but my client wants to find a solution hence I am posting this question...
My sincere apologies for being unable to provide further information such as trace logs etc, but has anyone faced the same issue, if yes what other work around have you used?
I suggest you go to Call Detail Records and find which variable contains the number you called. You would then use that variable for the inbound routes. You can change a setting in Default Settings
Category: dialplan
Subcategory: destination
Type: text
Value: ${sip_to_user}
In this example I used sip_to_user your carrier may send the number that was dialed in that variable or they could send it another way. Either way find your phone number and use the correct variable name. If this setting doesn't exist then add it. Click on the 'Reload' button to make the changes take effect. Go to Dialplan -> Destinations and re-save your inbound destinations and it will rewrite the inbound routes for you with the new variable.

My environment is configured for Directory Assistance so users from our LDAP can also authenticate to our Domino applications.
The issue I have is that the the current user that is returned has this format:
uid=abc#mail.com/ou=customers/DC=ACME/DC=COM so when
emailDocument.send()
is triggered; the From feld gets populated with this value and the SMTP communication fails when doing the domain lookup with this message = Data format error
I'm using emailBean from Tony McGuckin for sending emails.
Is there an alternative way to change the Sender name like noreply#mycompany.com?
I'm trying to avoid to create the message directly on mail.box.
Depends on what your use case is:
You want to have "proper" eMails individually per user
The application sends out eMails with a single sender name
In the first case an address book entry for your users is needed where you can map the external name to a proper Full name and eMail.
In the later case: use creation in the mail.box. It's your best option
we're facing a problem right now: We're using the SMS gateway feature from branch.io which simply does not work properly worldwide (e.g. Lituanian cell phones won't receive any messages at all).
Therefore i need a fallback method for people that cannot receive an SMS to their phone with the downloadlink in the Appstore. (The branch.io Links have an effect on the branding of our app)
The fallback is to let them use a voucher code which COULD be generated from a custom value that we store for each Link
This is an ordinary Link with its 2 custom values
The landing page http://learnmat.ch/spark7 opens in the browser and i'd like to be able to identify the SponsorID on the website so that i can return a voucher code that is suitable for the specific SponsorID of the Link.
Right now i've already integrated the Web SDK into the website.
Is that "reverse engineering of the SponsorID" possible based on the Link and the WebSDK integration?
I'd really appreciate your help!
Thank you,
Sven
Jackie from Branch here.
Our SMS page service supports international numbers but only if the number the SMS has to be delivered is in the same country the SMS is being sent from. Could you please make sure the sender is physically located in Lithuania? I'd also suggest creating your own Twilio integration if you want to bypass these restrictions we have on our system https://docs.branch.io/pages/web/text-me-the-app/#use-your-own-sms-service
Regarding your fallback method: you want to have users click on a Branch link that will open your website and based on the link data (sponsor ID), you want to provide them with unique voucher codes? If my assumption is correct, you can achieve this by custom event tracking and user identity tracking. (relevant docs: https://docs.branch.io/pages/dashboard/analytics/#user-value-attribution)
Hopefully, this helps. Let us know if you have additional questions about the info above, or about anything else related to integrating Branch.
Best,
Jackie Choi
Some background and my challenge:
Background
I am using Magento 2.x using a virtual machine set-up which runs on Ubuntu 16.04
Challenge
My goal is to be able to test emails sent to me from the Magento application. In an ideal situation, I would not use an extension or third-party service (although a third-party SMTP server on the linux box could work).
To achieve my goal, I need to be able to register as a customer in the Magento application with any email address (fake or real) and have the email sent to the same external email address, no matter what.
What I've done so far
I've installed postfix
I've installed Magento using luma.com as the domain (and set up my hosts file accordingly on my host machine, etc.)
I've created a linux user account called "contact"
I've configured inet_interfaces in /etc/postfix/main.cf as loopback-only
I've set mydestination to $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain
I've configured Magento to send its store emails from contact#luma.com
I've set up an aliases file as the following:
postmaster: root
root: contact
contact: me#gmail.com
Then I ran newaliases As far as I recall, email sends fine with this setup. Hooray!
Next, the catch-all part. For this, I've tried loads of things, and none seem to work. From the reading I've done, I've tried the following:
In /etc/postfix/main.cf, I added the following:
virtual_alias_domains = luma.com
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
Next, in /etc/postfix/virtual, I encountered my first problem. As far as I understand from the reading I've done, I'm supposed to use something like:
#example.com contact
This step apparently ensures that any email sent via postfix (e.g. from the Magento application) which uses an #example.com email address would be routed to the contact linux user I created above. Then, my thinking was that the system would use the alias I set up to ultimately send out that email from contact#luma.com (via the settings in Magento) through to the external address I set up in the aliases file. This approach would theoretically allow a user to register for an account with Magento using, say, joe#example.com, and then send the associated Welcome email to my external email address.
The issue with this is that I need the system to do this for any email, not just for emails ending in #example.com
Just for sake of completeness, I'll say that before asking this question, I was most recently researching how to achieve this part of the challenge using pcre tables. I've also tried configuring something using luser_relay, but both of these things are over my head at this point, so I'm lost.
My hope is that someone can offer some guidance as to whether I'm on the right path, where I may have missed something, and ultimately, offer some advice on whether my challenge can be solved and how I might go about solving it.
Thanks for reading.
I'm attempting to create a google nest client to write electricity monitor data to the Nest for display in the energy history plot, but although I'm able to create a test client with thermostat read permissions, when I attempt to create a new client with product data write permissions I get an error message saying "scopes.justification exceeds required maximum length of 140". I don't see any fields with more than 140 characters and an email to the Nest team has been unanswered for several days.
I should say I'm leaving the OAuth redirect field blank because I'm still trying to learn exactly how OAuth is meant to work and if the redirect is a site I need to write and host or what, but it appears to be optional and one can edit client details later or use a PIN so doesn't seem that's the issue, but I could be wrong.
Anyone had this issue or able to provide some tips?
I am new to Asterisk. We re working on an IVR project in University and we have some queues in queues.conf file. Some of our queue members are not registered in asterisk and we re calling them via trunk. But the problem is that we cant get the DEVICE_STATE information of these devices that is noıt registered in asterisk.
For example when we use Verbose function to see the state of a device; Verbose(${DEVICE_STATE(SIP/XXXX#10.0.0.2)}) it says the phone is INVALID.
But on the other hand we can call this phone via trunk. Is there any way to get the DEVICE_STATE of a phone which is not registered in asterisk and calling with trunk.
Thanks and Regards
you can not use DEVICE_STATE to make a call for external devices.
The short version is no, not that I am aware of. If the device is not registered, then Asterisk literally has no stateful information of the device. Therefore, until Asterisk has some reason to "talk to" the SIP device in question, it doesn't even know if it's on the network. A few quick Google searches didn't even show a way to do a pre-call SIP status enquiry.
