More Newbie Questions! This time about Comedian Mail: 1. I have the vmail.cgi script running and it looks great. Is there a permanent fix to the permissions problem on the messages? Right now I have to "chmod 777" the voicemail directory before I can listen to messages, which is obviously not workable for normal use. 2. Are there any simple guidelines for configuring SendMail to forward the voicemails to my ISP e-mail address? The odd thing is that, without changing anything on my system, this suddenly started working perfectly one night and then it stopped - again for no apparent reason! 3. I am still looking for a simple Message Waiting application - preferably for Windoze. A few folks previously suggested some monitoring tools which either provided more than I wanted or didn't work. What I am thinking of is just something very very simple that sits in the Win System Tray and turns red when I have a message in Asterisk. It could maybe tell me how many voice messages I have, but even that would be overkill! If there is nothing that does this, I would highly recommend it as a project for a developer out there. Many IP hard & soft phones do not have message waiting lights and this would help to fill the gap. Thanks! Chris -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The owner/group/perms are configurable in some static variables at the top so if you need them to change, you only need to change them there. Hope this helps.

You will also need to change a file in Asterisk core, to make it right, I think it was file.c.

Using standard "Comedian Mail" in 1.2 Beta 1. My users want to be able to: a) Transfer a caller directly into somebody's voicemail, without ringing their phone. b) Forward their phone directly into voicemail in order not to be disturbed. The phones are Cisco 7960s (SIP). Any suggestions? </edg>
