I am trying to use Asterisk as the voicemail system of the TELCO where I work. I wanna test with 20000 mail boxes ( and later with a better machine/server I hope try with 70000 ). How do I include in voicemail.conf the file with the mail boxes?, In a big system like this,is better use text files or any database?

However, with a large system like that, I would tend to use the database to configure mailboxes, while using sound files directly on disk. -- Tilghman
Probably the best option is store the messages in IMAP and the userdate in a database. Honestly I dont think there is an issue with any number of mailboxes the issue is going to be how many calls at once your system can handle or how well your architecture scales to handle multiple machines. Can your storage handle 5,000 mails being recorded at once? Just trying to sort out the thousand different aspects of it all in my mind right now I say you give it a try but expect to write your own voicemail fron the ground up and not necessarily based on Asterisk. Then again, I could be wrong.
