I found by accident that there is a limit of 99 messages in your INBOX in Asterisk.
The 100th attempt to record a voice mail causes the system to play your greeting and then never record the 100th message and silently disconnect the caller.
So...is it safe to simply use the UNIX find command to delete any files in the INBOX directory that are older than X days old?
I did not know if Asterisk would lose track of which message number was next...or otherwise screw up the mail box by doing this.
If my use of a daily cron like this:
/usr/bin/find /var/spool/asterisk/vm/33/INBOX/* -mtime +15 -exec rm {} \;
is a bad idea...perhaps having a message retention period defined in voicemail.conf on a global or per user basis.
Any thought of having maximum number of messages be defined globally in voicemail.conf or on a per user basis?
Also, does anyone feel a need to have the voicemail system speak the date and time the voice mail message arrived for those that access messages by phone instead of the usual email?
Finally...am I the only person who does not have a need for separate busy and no answer outgoing messages? When I change my greeting...I change the not available...and have a cron job copy the unavailable to the busy file so the messages are the same.
Thanks.
