Summary:                    Asterisk does not send voicemail alerts when it is
being executed as a non-root user
Description: 
I have been using Asterisk 1.2.19 for the past two years. We created a
non-root user to execute this Asterisk instance and everything was ok.

Now we upgraded to Asterisk 1.4.21.2 and want to continue using this
non-root user to execute Asterisk. However, we noticed that after the
upgrade no voicemail alerts are generated by Asterisk anymore, when using a
non-root user. If we use root, the emails alerts are sent.

We downgraded this Asterisk instance until we found that Asterisk 1.4.14
is able to send the alerts as a non-root user, but from version 1.4.15 on
we can reproduce the issue.

We are not good C programmers, but found that this issue should be
something related to umask setting (at least in app_voicemail.c).

Please help.

Hi Corydon76 and mvanbaak,

We were already using umask 002.

However, we installed a fresh asterisk 1.4.21.2 this morning and since
that we cannot reproduce the issue anymore... All the emails are now being
sent when Asterisk runs both as root and asterisk_user. There were so many
changes we did in the machine that one could possibly solved the issue.

Anyway, THANKS A LOT for your patience and sorry for the noise!
