Summary:                    Outgoing calls cannot be made because of syntax
error in macro call
Description: 
outgoing calls are being made using the [macro-trunkdial-failover-0.3]
macro. see anything funny? NO PERIODS allowed in context names! That is why
the macro cannot be viewed in the file editor (advanced settings) screen
either. I manually changed the extensions.conf file to say
[macro-trunkdial-failover-0-3] and also manually edited the outgoing rule
to use this new macro name, and it now works. Of course everytime you start
the GUI it puts everything back to how it was.

Please provide console output showing what is happening (ideally with DEBUG
level logging). I'd be curious why it is no longer working, because the GUI
has been using this same context name for years.
