Hi, On my asterisk I have a voicemail for my extension and my Soft SIP phone tells me when there is mail for me. I also have other voicemail boxes which are not tied to any specific extension - rather they are for incoming callers when they interact with an AA, such as "to register for the event please press 1 and leave your details"... Can I chain or aggregate voicemail boxes so my SIP client will be informed if there is voicemail in any one of "n" mail boxes? Thanks Alan -- The way out is open! http://www.theopensourcerer.com

I'm not sure if you can specify more than one mailbox= line in sip.conf, but I had a suggestion. We have a similar AA/IVR, and we prefix info to the callerid string to say what they chose at the menu. This might work for you if you were going to have one SIP user check them all anyway. [incoming] exten => s,1,Answer exten => s,2,Background(...) ;press one to lv message for sales, press two to leave a message for support exten => s,3,WaitExten(6) exten => s,4,Goto(2) exten => 1,1,Playback(...) ;a sound file that asks caller to lv message for sales exten => 1,2,Set(CALLERID(name)=SLS:${CALLERID(name)}) exten => 1,3,Goto(leavemessage,s,1) exten => 2,1,Playback(...) ;a sound file that asks caller to lv message for support exten => 2,2,Set(CALLERID(name)=SPT:${CALLERID(name)}) exten => 2,3,Goto(leavemessage,s,1) [leavemessage] exten => s,1,Voicemail(s123) ; take a voicemail message, playing /nothing/ but the beep exten => s,2,Playback(...) ;thank you exten => s,3,Hangup So it plays a message stating WHAT they want recorded, then a beep, then records -- in the middle somewhere, it prefixes "SLS:" to the callerid name if they pressed 1 for sales, or "SPT:" if they pressed 2 for support. etc.etc.etc. Everything goes to voicemailbox 123, and the recipient looks at the calleridname for a prefix to determine what the caller wanted.

Yes you can just add the second or third box after a coma on the mailbox line like: mailbox=3113, 8000 and the phone will alert you to messages in either box =====================================================================Andrew Ott Email: aott at prairieweb.com or aott at actcom.net Network Admin/Webmaster Web: www.prairieweb.com or www.actcom.net =====================================================================Death is Gods way of Dropping Carrier.
