Something like this; :0: * From:.*asterisk !anna at localhost bob at localhost charlie at some.place.else dave at localhost This is all from memory, so be sure to read `man procmail` ..... To save space on the mail server, you might want to pipe it through a script which strips off the attachment and saves it to a password-protected folder where apache can serve it up by HTTP, then notify the intended recipients with a short message (but note I grew up in the days of kilobytes aot gigabytes, so this might be overkill). -- AJS Answers come *after* questions.
Not quite true. I use a PHP script to do my processing (called from
voicemail.conf [externnotify = /usr/local/bin/vmnotify.php]).
The main three lines are:
$vm_context = $argv[1];
$extension = $argv[2];
$number_of_messages = $argv[3];
Self explanatory really.

It's actually what you're going to end up doing, whether you do it on
the MTA level or your code it into your script that you execute instead
of sendmail -f. Currently, there is no way to natively have asterisk
send one voicemail to multiple email addresses.
What's probably going to work best for you since you seem to like
program your own scripts (and I'm not talking an AGI here, I'm talking
either pure bash, php, perl, or whichever you prefer), is to change the
mailcmd= option inside voicemail.conf and replace it with a script of
your own design. I'm not sure off the top of my head which variables
are passed to the command, but you could always write a simple script
that just outputs all arguments to see and go from there. My guess is
you're going to at the least get the preconfigured email address and the
contents of your emailsubject and emailbody options (both of which have
the option of passing multiple useful variables).

So why not simply go back to square one and create a 'distribution
group' e-mail address - and send to that?
You've probably realised by now that if you want * to do something it
doesn't already do - you have to write that bit yourself.
Good luck.

We are talking about "mailcmd" not "externnotify"
I am aware of extennotify, problem is, it runs script when someone
checks their voicemail, i need a script to run only when a voicemail is
left....

One of those points being to turn off a MWI if the total number of msgs reaches 0. Not everyone uses the same extension number for the user as for the device they are on (think hot-desking). I'm glad you got it to work your way :) -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Tilghman Lesher Sent: 12 April 2011 22:43 To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] send voicemail to multiple emails On Tuesday 12 April 2011 15:28:50 vip killa wrote:> Honestly, I don't understand why "externnotify" should run when > someone checks their voicemail... the change i made, makes sense so > maybe that should be contributed to the asterisk source.The point of it is to run whenever there is a potential change in state. It runs after someone checks voicemail, because checking voicemail can clear new messages (or change the number of new messages). You are certainly welcome, in the external notification script to exit early, if you determine that further action is not necessary. The idea that we even need an extra flag for this is ridiculous. If there is that much penalty in starting up another script instance, you're using the wrong scripting language or the wrong machine. -- Tilghman -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
