asterisk users - Sep 2004 - Voicemail forward to a remote server?

Anybody ever managed to implement a solution where one could forward a 
voicemail from one * server to another?

Dominique

I was having this thought also and I couldn't find any implementations.

Likely it could be done using the sendmail 'pipe to shell' facility,
combined with some kind of delivery receipt system and a few minor hacks on
app_voicemail.c

Just have the two * servers login to eachother via IAX, then in your
extensions plan where you normally have:

 exten => 8899,1,Dial(SIP/8899,15,tr)
 exten => 8899,2,Voicemail(u8899@context)

change it to

 exten => 8899,1,Dial(SIP/8899,15,tr)
 exten => 8899,2,Dial(IAX2/<servername>/<extension>)

We have two * servers setup, #1 as main and #2 as pure MeetMe. We use the
above IAX2 dial command to forward all calls on a paticular number to the
other server. Works great.

This certainly works, if you want to have a remote VM - but still does 
not forward a received VM to another server.

Agreed, however these rely on foreknowledge of the remote end configuration
and are non-transactional. I was thinking more along the lines of VPIM
(http://www.google.ca/search?q=%22Voice+Profile+for+Internet+Mail).

Consider a large-scale private networking scenario - it would be very nice
to have a fall back voicemail system running on the PSTN/Private Network
bridges that, in the event of a transport network or remote end outage,
could catch targeted incoming calls with a generic message, record a
voicemail and then pass it off to be delivered by some other existing
infrastructure. Ie. Large volumes of SMTP mail can be delivered in
circumstances where RTP protocols would be rendered useless such as over a
congested, temporary consumer-grade satellite connection.
