asterisk users - Apr 2010 - Voice mail "maxmessage " setting per mail box

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi All,

Is it at all possible to have the "maxmessage" setting on per
user/mailbox value?

We have a requirement whereby we want the global maxmessage setting to
be 180 seconds per mail box, however, we would like to have certain
users to be able to store longer voice mail messages.

Is this at all doable in asterisk?

Thanks
Bruce

The "Out of the box" answer is no.  A "simple" workaround
would be to have a
second instance of Asterisk that you connect to via IAX to let the
"special"
group leave a longer message.

Exten => s,1,noop(voicemail processing)
Exten => s,n,Gotoif(..special..)?longmail
Exten => s,n,Voicemail(${EXTEN}@default)
Exten => s,n,Playback(vm-goodbye)
Exten => s,n,hangup
Exten => s,n(longmail),Dial(IAX2/longmail/${EXTEN},20,m)

On server 2
User 100
Exten => 100,1,Voicemail(100 at default)
Exten => 100,n,playback(vm-goodbye)
Exten => 100,n,hangup

Users 100-199
Exten => _1XX,1,Voicemail(${EXTEN}@default)
Exten => _1XX,n,playback(vm-goodbye)
Exten => _1XX,n,hangup

I'm a 1.2 Luddite, so YMMV...

In 1.2, maxmessage is a "global" setting.

In 1.6.1.6 (just what I happened to have on hand), maxmessage has been 
renamed to maxsecs and is a per user setting.

I don't know where between 1.2 and 1.6.1.6 this change was made -- 
scouring the change logs is left as an exercise for the reader :)

Thanks in advance,

Absolutely, as long as you're talking about the "maxmsg" setting! 
In
fact, there's an example in the sample voicemail.conf file that comes
with Asterisk:

;4200 => 9855,Mark Spencer,markster at linux-support.net,
mypager at digium.com,attach=no|serveremail=myaddy at digium.com|tz=central|
maxmsg=10

See how we set this particular mailbox to only have a maximum of ten
messages?

Thanks all for your input, much appreciated.

I will investigate this further with The Google :)
