[Asterisk-Users] Outgoing spool file ignored

[trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com]

How do you create them?

There is a race condition with asterisk and the spool where if you
create the file or copy it into the queue directory asterisk tries to
read and parse the file before you have finished writing it.  A
suggested method instead is to create it on the same partition then move
it into the appropriate directory to prevent this from occuring.
