No problem, not sure why you would think I would like to correspond with 
you directly.  I am into the community thing.  Why send me a direct 
email with some crappy process to become a verified sender just to be 
able to send you another email in order to help you?  I don't jump 
through hoops to help people that cannot or will not help themselves.

I didn't someone else suggested it.  vm_general.inc is an include for 
voicemail.conf in AMP so your settings should be in voicemail.conf I 
believe.  Go ahead and use your hack if you don't want to follow the 
"correct way" in asterisk.

Have you tried my other suggestion?  Google    
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+config+voicemail.conf
maybe try reloading asterisk before testing?!?


      fromstring

This setting allows the adminstrator to override a portion of the From: 
line in the voicemail notification message. By default, Asterisk sends 
the string "From: Asterisk PBX <who>. The "Asterisk PBX" portion of the 
From: line can be overridden by specifying your own string as the value 
for this setting. One might use this to customize the voicemail 
notification message and/or remove the reference to "Asterisk PBX".

I am content with my current volunteering  jobs, helping (sometimes 
ungrateful) people with asterisk problems, doing GPS work, and helping 
spread the world about the moringa tree.
