[Asterisk-Users] Newbie - MWI

[Sean Cheesman]

There are no guarantees that the voicemail will be in the same context
as the extension.  By giving you the ability and flexibility of defining
everything independently, there's not much you can't do!  Remember, the
context call in the sip.conf refers to the context in extensions.conf.
the "johnhome" at the end of the mailbox=5702 at johnhome refers to the
context in voicemail.conf.  Maybe I'm missing your point, and I
apologize if I am.....

Why shouldn't the mailbox definition inherit the context defined on the
SIP entry?

Why should we have to create each SIP/IAX/(etc) entry, define it's
context, and then also define the context it's voicemail is in?
[default] has no rights & privelidges that should put it above any other
context, does it?
