<P> </P>
<P>I am trying to run load on asterisk server(version 1.8.7.1) through SIPp tool for the voicemail() application. But I am facing a lot of problems. I tried running 1000 calls from SIPp for 100 subscribers (10 messages for each subscriber). I am using odbc storage for the messages.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Following warnings/errors are coming on the asterisk server:</P>
<P> </P>
<P><FONT color=#000099>Jan 11 11:30:49] WARNING[22924] app.c: Failed to lock path '/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/27/INBOX': File exists<BR>[Jan 11 11:30:49] ERROR[22924] app_voicemail.c: Couldn't lock directory /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/27/INBOX. Voicemail will be lost.</FONT></P>
<P> </P>
<P>Sometimes I have seen that .lock file remains in the INBOX folder for a particular subscriber. I wanted to know why this .lock file is not deleted. Is this a bug or I am missing something in the configuration.</P>

<P>The SIPp command which I am running is as follows:</P>
