[asterisk-users] send voicemail to multiple emails

[Andrew Thomas]

Not quite true.  I use a PHP script to do my processing (called from
voicemail.conf [externnotify = /usr/local/bin/vmnotify.php]).

The main three lines are:

$vm_context = $argv[1];
$extension = $argv[2];
$number_of_messages = $argv[3];

Self explanatory really.

I've already taken the steps you described...issue i ran into was there
is no variables passed to "mailcmd" only STDIN... as a result i have to
"extract" variables from STDIN...

That does not sound easy... besides these email addresses would be taken

It's actually what you're going to end up doing, whether you do it on
the MTA level or your code it into your script that you execute instead
of sendmail -f.  Currently, there is no way to natively have asterisk
send one voicemail to multiple email addresses.

What's probably going to work best for you since you seem to like
program your own scripts (and I'm not talking an AGI here, I'm talking
either pure bash, php, perl, or whichever you prefer), is to change the
mailcmd= option inside voicemail.conf and replace it with a script of
your own design.  I'm not sure off the top of my head which variables
are passed to the command, but you could always write a simple script
that just outputs all arguments to see and go from there.  My guess is
you're going to at the least get the preconfigured email address and the
contents of your emailsubject and emailbody options (both of which have
the option of passing multiple useful variables).
