I always favor the layed modular approach. > Yes, requiring a RDBMS for voicemail would be a pain for a lot of us, but I > like the idea of using an email storage backend that can be configured. > Perhaps the University of Washington c-client library, which can have > different backends plugged into it and provides mbox and maildir (via a 3rd > party module/patch), or something similar. If you have an IMAP server why not just perform POST operations; whether there is mbox, maildir, or cyrus on the backend just won't matter. Form an e-mail message and put it into a folder, the "literal" storage mechanism should be the mail servers problem. > The idea of storing voicemails as "audio/wav" attachments to mails in a > maildir appeals to me for running an IMAP server on top of it and providing > easy remote access to voicemail. And it steals one of the "killer" features away from exchange and it's kin. Always a good thing, IMHO. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
