[asterisk-users] Voicemail argument size limit
I'm trying to implement a voicemail distribution list using asterisk and I've hit a bump. I've got an agi script that parses voicemail.conf and generates a list of voicemail boxes to use as an argument to the voicemail() function. The problem is that the argument exceeds 256 characters (100 mailboxes * 5 characters per mailbox [ + 4 digit mailbox] = 500+ characters) and asterisk seems to trunk there resulting in only the first 50 people getting the voicemail. I've searched for a solution on the lists and through google to no avail. Can this be fixed with a simple buffer size change in a couple of places or am I going to run into dependencies everywhere? Going through the code it looks like char[256]'s in a number of places that could be causing the problem but I haven't had the time to go through the code in any depth. This is asterisk 1.2.12.1 although I am going to be upgrading to the latest version shortly. If there is a limit then is this documented anywhere? Should a function that gets an argument of 500 characters simply truncate or should it simply return an error that the input is too long so as to avoid operating on partial data? I've already considered a number of workarounds including copying the messages right from the file system but the only way to get things like email notification is to use the function. Is there a copy function that I could use in a loop that would also notify anyone with an email notifcation set up? Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

I'm trying to implement a voicemail distribution list using asterisk and I've hit a bump. I've got an agi script that parses voicemail.conf and generates a list of voicemail boxes to use as an argument to the voicemail() function. Generate in groups of 50 and loop it until you have them all? Define Generate. Right now I Answer and then send them into the voicemail function with the list of mailboxes. How would I go about first recording the message and _then_ sending it to voicemail in a loop, 50 at a time? If there is a function I missed or am unaware of please let me know. Recording the message multiple times is not an option :) Thanks, -Don ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I was not clear on how your AGI functioned. I'm happy to alter my AGI file in any way that will allow this to function. If you can suggest a means of getting this to work please let me know. Alternatively I may ask or in -dev if they know what would need to be changed for a recompile.

I would suggest that you follow your original thought of using the file system. You can turn on the phone's MWI by touching the msg.txt file My script does that so that's not a problem- it just doesn't trigger email notifications unless it goes through the voicemail function. That's the part I'd like to fix. I don't want to just go changing buffer sizes, however.
