[asterisk-dev] Navigating Voice Mail

[Steve Wofford]

I did some poking around and found the following from the USB keydrive
that holds the VM:

Why can't I just write a script that runs on the system to send these as
attachments as they come in? At which point I could then delete them.
The txt files could be used to create the email headers.

The only problems is that I have no idea how to code this and run the
script. I am sure I could figure it out  w/ some help, but needs some
directional assistance at this point.

TIA,

Steve

Here's a small question for fun and profit:
How many known remote holes are in the SIP channel of Asterisk 1.0.7?

What CLI prompt exactly? Asterisk? Linux? (as root?)

Can you edit voicemail.conf ?
What you suggest is much more complicated. All you need is a local
command to relay mail outside. Which can be something as simple as ssmtp
to a near-by SMTP server. Theoretically it can even be a home-brewed
script that uses nc (netcat) or even telnet to send the bits to be
handled on a different computer.
