Hi Anthony -

We have a user (our CEO) who has phones in two different offices, and we'd like him to be able to get all his VM in either office, regardless of which office was originally called.

My idea instead is to use externnotify to run some kind of script to forward the vm to another server. I'm sort of at a loss as to where to start, though. I guess I could rsync the VM files to the other server, and run a name check to rename the VM files if there's a duplicate name. The one problem there are that my coding skills are seriously bad.

Could he not get his voicemail forwarded to his email account?

I guess I should have mentioned that I did offer this option for him.  He 
doesn't like it, though.  He gets 200-400 emails a day, and he has a hard 
enough time keeping them straight.  He also is often forced to get his emails 
over slow links, so attaching the  voicemails is not the best option.

I also just thought of maybe using a call file to somehow send the VM messages on to the 
remote server.  I'm not sure how I would go from a wav file to a an iax call, though.  I 
really need an asterisk app like "ForwardAsVM(soundfile)".

Of course, what I really want is an asterisk VM system where user accounts are 
transparent across many servers, and VM's can be shuffled around between the 
servers as a configuration option in voicemail.conf.  I wish I could code and 
knew Objective-C!  Maybe I should submit a feature request.

I'm still hoping some resourceful asterisk guru has figured out a workaround 
for this.

Thanks!
Noah
