While setting my first couple IP phones, I set their voicemail buttons to
an extension that runs VoicemailMain.
exten => 8500,1,Wait(1) ; voicemail
exten => 8500,2,VoicemailMain ;
exten => 8500,3,Hangup ;
I would like to be able to pass the mailbox number allowing each phone to
go in directly but I'd rather tno have a bunch of different extensions
with the mailbox number hard coded:
exten => 8500,1,Wait(1) ; voicemail
exten => 8500,2,VoicemailMain(${VMBOX}) ;
exten => 8500,3,Hangup ;
The hitch is, I'm not sure how to identify the voicemail box associated
with the channel. Is there an way to get the current channel's
"mailbox="
value from the iax|sip|zapata.conf files as a variable for use in the
dialplan?
Thanks,
Paul

It would be nice to be able to grab the mailbox= value from the channels respective config file. Right now all I can think of would be to either patch app_voicemail to use that value (maybe using a flag or something) or to execute a res_perl script to get the mailbox number from the channel and make it available in the dialplan. Just my .02 cents worth. Good luck, Robert Jackson
