That would be a qualified yes.  The
problem you will face is this;  Say you want to do 1000 calls and you have 25
lines you can use.  If you dump all 1000 calls into
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing at once, asterisk will try to process all 1000 at
once, which will lead to some problems.   The way to accommodate this is to “plan”
your calls in such a way as they can process in groups.  Let’s say that you
expect each automated call to take 3 minutes.  You could set up a job to
release 25 files every 3 minutes to /v/s/a/o and would mostly be running well. 
Of course some calls will last longer and some shorter, but pbx_spool will take
care of that easily as long as the load isn’t too great.  You could even do
30-35 calls to account for hangups, etc.

Hi Danny,

Thanks so much for your response. I have used call files
to autodial too. Can this be used for large volume calls? 

Thanks,

Sanjoy.

Here is my .02;  There are basically
(but not only) two ways to “auto-dial” from asterisk.  You can use Asterisk
Manager or create a set of call files to use the pbx_spool function.  I’m
more familiar with the latter.  If you “dump” a set of call files,
Asterisk will try to do them all at once and respool them until it can satisfy
the request.  You can “help” by touching the files with a future date so *
will try to process them more smoothly.  There is a reasonably nice PERL
module called Asterisk::Outgoing, but you’ll have to tweak it to use the time
functionality.

Alex,

You are right. My questions are probably wide open. I probably would
have more specific. Any help I get would be great; if not I will figure it out
myself :).

Steve, Geraint - It was kind of you both to respond back. Thanks guys for
your response.  :)

I am dCAP trained but just like anything else you do not get
everything/anything you want from there.

Anyways I checked VOIP-info.org the information there was pretty basic. I was
trying to get some more insight to this autodialer stuff. If there is something
I can take leverage of that will be great (because I do not want reinvent the
wheel) or else (as sadi before) I will figure out. 

Thanks,

Sanjoy.
