FOOD FOR THOUGHT Is my PBX "phoning home"

[rodjames]

I've detected email message trying to be sent from my PBX to "[email protected]"

Could you please explain why this is necessary?

 

[wardmundy]

Have you configured the email option in Module Admin of the GUI?? That may be the default which goes in the bit bucket.

 

[rodjames]

I will config that and see if it changes.

 

[wardmundy]

Just let us know. Thanks.

@rodjames: I've now read the thread on DSL Reports about this. I did some more digging and still haven't found a build that has that email address in it although that sounds like an email address I might have made up once upon a time. I can't recall where and when this was actually used and would love to track it down. If you happen to have a build that actually has this email address in it, I'd appreciate a heads up as well as a snapshot of status from the machine. The tipoff that this was a very old system was the @fluffybunny comment about the DMCA. That is some language that Tom incorporated into PBX in a Flash many years ago after someone had threatened to steal some of Tom's encrypted installer code. It's never been in Incredible PBX which is 100% open source code. But there are older versions of Incredible PBX which can be installed over the top of PIAF just as we do with Elastix and the FreePBX Distro.

Long story short, I don't think this exists in any certified version of Incredible PBX, but I could be mistaken and would love to get to the bottom of it. Thanks.
