I just want to group the mailboxes by say department rather than putting
them all under [default].
So, I could use CLI to "voicemail show users for sales" or
"voicemail
show users for technical", etc.
That is why I thought [macro-stdexten] will not be able to know which
extension is in which context.

Agree?

If the mailboxes don't overlap, I don't believe you need to worry about 
the context, I don't use it in mine....

I haven't been following the conversation, but why don't you use
searchcontexts=yes in voicemail.conf?  As long as you don't specify a
particular context when calling Voicemail, it will look through all contexts
until it finds a matching mailbox.

We are running Asterisk 1.4. Does anyone have thought about how to pass
RDNIS from a callmanager to a just an Asterisk 1.4 voicemail server?

I have tried to use CALLERID(rdnis) with a NoOp statement prior, but I
get confused by the syntax of whether or not to use the SET in front of
the CALLERID(rdnis). 

Thoughts?
