Hi. Thanks for the reply.  Regarding filenames, thanks for the help.

On asterisk.conf it is only possible to specify which directory is going to be used to store voicemail, call files, etc (astspooldir). What I would like to know is how to have some directories of the spool in one path and other directories of the spool on other path (ex: voicemail directory on /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail and outgoing in /example/callfiles/ )

Once again thanks for the reply,

Ricardo
