asterisk users - Sep 2017 - Voicemail: search for name in a phonebook

Hi list!

I'm using Asterisk 1.8.30.0 on a OpenWRT device and it works perfectly.
I configured a voicemail and I receive an E-Mail with some information about
the call.
Again, wonderful!

Now my wish: I'd like to have Asterisk to search the caller in a list file
and send me the name corresponding to the number in the E-Mail of voicemail.
Is it possible?

I currently use ${VM_CALLERID} in emailbody and it gives, of course, the
phone number...

Thanks a lot!

Yes, You could do easily this either with the internal asterisk database or
with something like func_odbc as a source for the data.

In the context you receive your incoming calls you do a lookup against one
of the above data sources using the CALLERID(NUM) and change CALLERID(NAME)
to be the name you set.
