Voicemail email Notification to multiple recipients?

Posted by Skydoc on Sun, 01/04/2009

Hi (and I promise this is my last question for a while!) - I need to send email to a couple of recipients if voicemail is left in a particular voicemail box. I would have thought that PBX manager would allow a comma or semicolon delimited list of email addresses to allow this, but it is rejected by the GUI as being incorrectly formatted.

Does anyone know if the script should accept multiple email addresses - or does the GUI restrict this appropriately due to limitations of the script or core asterisk modules?

Thanks in advance for any help that you can give!

Regards,

Geoff.

Asterisk does not let you specify multiple email addresses in a single entry of voicemail.conf as each comma seperates different types of entries. I tell my customers that distributing email is best left up email servers, ie send mail to an alias address that sends to a list of people (like in /etc/aliases or virtual user tables). So in Asterisk the recipient is distributionuser@domain.com which re-mails user1@domain.com, user2@domain.com, etc.

Erik,

Your solution is actually pretty elegant - thanks. I set this up in postfix in 1 minute!
