asterisk users - Aug 2007 - Voicemail Password Issue

Asterisk Users,

  I am running Asterisk-1.4.11 with Zaptel-1.4.4 on Debian Etch System 
2.9.18-4-amd64.  A TDM03B is installed on the Debian System.

  Every time, I try to change my voicemail pin via the Sip phone, the 
voicemail.conf does not get modify and I see this warning message on the 
Asterisk command line:

  [Aug 29 00:12:23] WARNING[19142]: app_voicemail.c:799 vm_change_password: 
variable has bad format.
  == Saving '/etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf': Saved
  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/users.conf': Found
  == Saving '/etc/asterisk/users.conf': Saved
    -- <SIP/225-00719470> Playing 'vm-passchanged' (language
'en')
    -- <SIP/225-00719470> Playing 'vm-options' (language
'en')

  Now, when I manually change the pin in the voicemail.conf file there is no 
problem.  I tried looking on internet for any information, but I found 
nothing useful.

  Does anybody have any insight on why I can't change my voicemail pin via 
the Sip phone?  Thanks in advance.

Here is my voicemail.conf file:

maxsilence = 10
silencethreshold = 128
maxlogins = 3
emaildateformat = %A, %B %d, %Y at %r
tz = central
dialout = outbound
sendvoicemail = yes
callback = outbound
review = yes
nextaftercmd = yes

[zonemessages]
eastern = America/New_York|'vm-received' Q 'digits/at' IMp
central = America/Chicago|'vm-received' Q 'digits/at' IMp
central24 = America/Chicago|'vm-received' q 'digits/at' H N
'hours'
military = Zulu|'vm-received' q 'digits/at' H N 'hours'
'phonetic/z_p'
european = Europe/Copenhagen|'vm-received' a d b 'digits/at' HM

225 => 1234

Hello John,

I think it is not the problem with your Asterisk, it is with your Phone (IP
Phone or Softphone)

Check the dtmf format on that. I think it is set to inbound,  then change it
to rfcxxxxxx.

Then it should work fine.

Regards,

AFShin

While I can't say this won't work the way you have it, I CAN say
it's
not the way mine is set up and it's not a way I've SEEN it ever set up.

Could it just be complaining that you've got nothing on the right side 
of the => for mailbox 200?

Or could it be complaining that you don't have anything past the pin 
number on the other lines?
Try:
201 => 1234,Name
or
201 => 1234,Name,email

I'm thinking it's my first suggestion, though.  To test that, try adding
another without a pin number:

199 =>

and see if you then get two of the "variable has bad format" error
messages
