email_recordings.lua not sending attachment

[David Dunlap]

We were testing a script that sends an email with the recording of the 911 call to administrators to notify first responders who made the call. The script works fine on a PI but on an fresh Ubuntu install it sends the email with correct caller & called but there is no file attachment.

The recording file is in the proper folder with proper permissions and the script knows the entire path to it.

I am not an email expert by any means and I cannot figure out why this works on one system but not on another.

A voicemail user configured to receive message as attachment works fine.

Any help would be appreciated as this feature is missing when we replace a legacy pbx.

Thanks in advance.
