[asterisk-users] Custom Voicemail emails

[Matt Gibson]

We have done something similar using the category option with the voicemail.
Our emails look like this:

 

 

------

TO   : Big Boss

ID   : 2

CAT. : EMERGENCY

BOX  : 100

FROM : "Emergency Line" <5552221212>

DUR  : 0:20

DATE : Wednesday, October 10, 2007 at 01:28:27 PM

------

 

Internal Access:

*98 for Personal Voicemail or *99 for Main Voicemail

 

You could easily append this to the subject line, so it will show different
per category. 

 

Thanks,

Matt G

Depending on what e-mail server software you use, it may be easier to direct
the voicemail to a specific e-mail address and have your e-mail software
rewrite the subject, and then forward it on to your boss.

Currently, there is no such capability.  Coding it would not be very
difficult, however.  I would suggest using the per-mailbox settings and
simply
adding the option to code an email subject per mailbox, and then default to
the generic subject, if one is not otherwise specified in the mailbox.
