I'm doing some automated calling by putting .call files in the Outgoing folder of Asterisk. I'm concerned this might be a stupid question, but I'm pretty sure I've done my research well and I'm unable to come up with an answer on my own.<div>
<br></div><div>I want to know: what happens to the .call files after the "MaxRetries" number has been reached? </div><div><br></div><div>In my experience, they stay in the Outgoing folder, but are never deleted. Instead, Asterisk keeps processing them, but never actually making a call. In my mind, once the MaxRetries number has been met, Asterisk should do something to get rid of the files, whether moving them to another "failed" folder or just deleting them. You can see an example of my problem below.
