A

...

typical

...

voicemail

...

in

...

wav

...

format

...

can

...

be

...

1mb

...

or

...

larger.

...

Even

...

a

...

short

...

voicemail

...

can

...

be

...

192K.

...

If

...

you

...

are

...

sending

...

this

...

to

...

your

...

cell

...

phone,

...

it

...

can

...

start

...

to

...

use

...

up

...

your

...

data

...

plan,

...

and

...

take

...

longer

...

to

...

download.

...

This

...

hack

...

will

...

translate

...

your

...

outbound

...

wav

...

file

...

into

...

an

...

mp3.

...

Maybe,

...

works

...

here,

...

never

...

had

...

a

...

problem,

...

ymmv*

...

You

...

will

...

see

...

savings

...

on

...

the

...

order

...

of

...

70%.

...

That

...

192K

...

wav

...

file

...

is

...

now

...

a

...

40K

...

mp3.

...

And,

...

mp3's

...

are

...

directly

...

supported

...

on

...

most

...

cell

...

phones,

...

inline

...

without

...

needing

...

to

...

load

...

players.

...

Quick

...

Start

...

for

...

the

...

impatient:

...

download

...

postfix,

...

lame,

...

mutt,

...

ripmime

...

and

...

system-switch-mail.

Hack

...

main.cf

...

to

...

do

...

a

...

redirect,

...

and

...

add

...

my

...

script.

...

Seems

...

to

...

work.

...

Note:

...

this

...

does

...

NOT

...

translate

...

the

web

based

...

voicemail

...

to

mp3..

just

the

emailed

copy.

We

start

by

loading

a

different

email

server:

postfix.

...

I

like

it

better

than

sendmail,

use

it

in

our

commercial

email

security

devices,

and,

...

I

...

don't

know

how

to

do

this

with

sendmail.
