Brand spankin new FreePBX 13.0.192.16 with Asterisk 13.17.0
Doing our routine checks on in/out calls, two way audio, voicemail to email, etc., when I noticed I wasn’t getting any voicemail emails. I then noticed voicemails aren’t being stored on the phones (server I know) either.
This is a brand new, fully updated to 66-21 as explained here: Sangoma Documentation
I saw a post by Andrew Nagy that said to do a voicemail reload in asterisk cli. Here’s what I get:

Could it be because I have a space on one of the voicemail settings or something and that causes it to not work correctly? Or because the email format has an error in it?
We’re dead in the water trying to move users from our broken server, as mentioned Consistent Asterisk/FreePBX Crash Issue, but can’t because with a brand new FreePBX instance, voicemail is broken.
Hi Andrew will do. Did you notice anything wrong with the pace bin you had me upload? As for the dial plan I will do it when I get back to the office however so you know we get all the way through to the point of being asked to leave a voicemail it just doesn’t seem to create the file.
So, found the issue, but still needs fixin. The dialplan says that the recording was only 2 seconds, and need to be at least 5. So I recorded a new message, and it made it over 10 seconds, and it still said it was too short! Except it said it was only 4 seconds, and needed to be at least 5. I then did a 20 second message and it saved.
What would cause this timing to be that off?
<SIP/9880-0000000e> Playing ‘beep.ulaw’ (language ‘en’)
– Recording the message
– x=0, open writing: /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/9880/tmp/aGH9vP format: wav, 0x7f18f0010220
– User hung up
– Recording was 2 seconds long but needs to be at least 5 - abandoning
That is irrelevant. What I said is “your default voicemail settings are causing this”. Which is true. The default settings in voicemail are preventing you from leaving short messages which is to prevent voicemail phone charges from spammers.
You can configure these settings in admin/config.php?display=voicemail&action=settings
If Asterisk thinks that the message is shorter than it actually is, then you probably have silence detection misconfigured in Settings, Voicemail Admin, Settings tab, Limits tab.
Iv’e seen on some 13 fresh installs that the the default limit wasn’t working unless you recorded messages longer than 30 seconds, once lowered to the lowest possible it worked.
