[asterisk-users] howto copy a voicemail message to another machine ?

[Tech Support]

    Check out the "externnotify" parameter in voicemail.conf. What it does
is run an external program whenever a caller leaves a voicemail message for
a user. The way it works is basically any time that somebody leaves a
voicemail on the system (regardless of mailbox number), the command
specified for externnotify is run with the arguments (in this order):
context, extension, new voicemails, old voicemails and urgent voicemails.
These arguments are passed to the program that you set in the externnotify
parameter.

My asterisk server is in the cloud. Figuring out how to send an email is too
much brain damage. So i can't use the email feature that's built into
voicemail.

What I want to do is execute a remote command with the voicemail as an
argument.  The remote machine command would email the message.

I'm thinking of:

same =>n,VoiceMail(vm,u)
same =>n,System(ssh myserver "emailVM  '_THE_VOICEMAIL_MESSAGE_'")

What variables can I use for _THE_VOICEMAIL_MESSAGE_

Or is this better done with externcmd in voicemail.conf ?:

externcmd => ssh myserver "emailVM  '_THE_VOICEMAIL_MESSAGE_'"

But same question. And can externcmd take arguments ?
