The intent is that a call to a sipXecs user will fork over a SIP trunk to a PBX user, so perhaps "external contact" would be a better term than "external user" since there's currently no fundamental difference between a local user account and an external user account on sipXecs. There's nothing currently preventing a registered local user also having an external contact, although that would be a more complex configuration. The PBX users do not need to register since calls to them are forked over a SIP trunk (and in my case over a Mediant1000 to a PRI trunk connected to a PBX). With the PBX dialplan configured appropriately the PBX user will be able to forward calls to sipXecs voicemail (to deposit messages) and call sipXecs voicemail directly (to retrieve messages). When their mailbox receives a message the PBX will receive an MWI indication over the SIP trunk. If the PBX supports that functionality it will light the PBX user's message waiting lamp.
