If all else fails you might use an AGI script like this (put it
in /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/):


#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
$mailbox = @$argv[1];
$pass = '';
if (preg_match( '/^\d*$/', $mailbox )) {
  $vmConf = file_get_contents( '/etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf' );
  if (preg_match( '/^'.$mailbox.'\s*=>\s*(\d*)/m', $vmConf, $m )) {
    $pass = $m[1];
  }
}
echo 'SET VARIABLE vm_pass ', $pass, "\n";
fFlush(STDOUT);
?>


and call the script from within the dial plan:

exten => 123,1,Set(my_mailbox=555)
exten => 123,n,AGI(get-vm-password.php|${my_mailbox})
exten => 123,n,SayDigits(${vm_pass})


But maybe there is a better solution to this.
