John That's an interesting behaviour you're describing.
I've looked at the contents of the voicemail INBOX directory and when I look at the files, I can see that they're actually created but are too small to contain audio. Your disappearing/reappearing message sounds really weird. The other thing about my system is that it will work just fine then just fail. All users are affected simultaneously. It won't fix itself until Asterisk restarts. Thanks for your suggestions. Dave On 5/9/06, John Lange <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Dave, this sounds frighteningly similar to a problem that one of our clients is complaining about. Seems that every so often they get a "phantom" voicemail. When they check their messages there is nothing there. However, there is some differences; they've learned that if they just hangup and leave it the message will magically appear later, sometimes the next day. Also, pressing "5" to hear the message over again sometimes causes the message to appear. Sometimes you have to do it six or seven times. Ask them to try that and see if you have similar results. Likely our problems are not related but it would be interesting if they were. It may be an elusive bug.
