Summary:                    SIP qualify option destroys the MWI subscription,
causing no new MWI messages to be sent.
Description: 
We encountered many problems with the MWI notifications on our Snom
phones.
After some testing we discovered the MWI was working fine for the first 60
seconds after the initial registration of the phone and then stopped
working.

So I crawled a bit trough the source code and added a few log notices in
chan_sip, right here;

/*! \brief Check whether peer needs a new MWI notification check */
static int does_peer_need_mwi(struct sip_peer *peer)
{
    time_t t = time(NULL);
    if (ast_test_flag(&peer->flags[1], SIP_PAGE2_SUBSCRIBEMWIONLY) &&
        !peer->mwipvt) {    /* We don't have a subscription */
        peer->lastmsgcheck = t; /* Reset timer */
        ast_log(LOG_NOTICE, "We don't have subscription for peer: %s \n ",
peer->name);
        return FALSE;
    }

    if (!ast_strlen_zero(peer->mailbox) && (t - peer->lastmsgcheck) >
global_mwitime) {
        ast_log(LOG_NOTICE, "Checking status change MWI for peer: %s \n ",
peer->name);
        return TRUE;
    }
    return FALSE;
}


After that I could clearly see that right after a SIP OPTIONS was
transmitted the asterisk could not longer find a subscription for MWI on
that peer.
So I set qualify=no (instead of qualify=5000) and the problem no longer
occured.

It seems that after sending the SIP OPTION, the mwipvt is also deleted.

This is how far my search has lead me..
I'd like to search further, but don't really comprehend that part of the
code.


I've added a trace that clearly shows the issue.
Just notice that right after the SIP OPTIONS message has been acknowlegded
the MWI subscription is lost.
