Please send a table of what is decoded when you press what key.. 

When you run the DTMF test it decodes as 2 digits ie 1 3 and not the correct actual digit sent

1. Get the sendemail packages.   This SHOULD WORK:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sendemail
(or, as root without the sudo)
Here is one of my mailrc files, installed in
/home/rfg/.getmail/
[retriever]
type = SimplePOP3Retriever
server = mail.xalaska.com
port = 110
username = secret@xalaska.com
password = bigger8secret
[destination]
type = Maildir
path = ~/mailqqq/
[options]
delete = true
message_log = ~/.getmail/log-secret
Once installed, you can run it manually or via crontab:
/usr/local/bin/getmail --rcfile getmailrc-secret  # retrieves mail
Ill see if I find a gmail rcfile, not sure I have one.

Back when I was an ISP, I avoided sendmail.  It is big,
complicated, messy, probably insecure.

I never dealt with sendmail since trying in 1997.

If you meant sendEmail, let me know.  Different animal.

Its up to you - I would. But there are not a lot of plugs into EchoIRLP, so you should be able to find them all in the custom directory:

custom_decode
custom_on
custom_off

You also should look out for IRLPvCON scripts as well.

You should be fine just commenting out all the EchoIRLP related pieces in the three files above.

You need to remove the lines for EchoIRLP from the custom_decode file at a minimum - there are likely many things that need to be tweaked.
