Using Distro 2.210.62-7 but I’m assuming this is an Asterisk issue.
When a message is left it seems to be saved as (and write over) msg0100.wav
I only get the most recent message saved in the ARI. As an example, I’ll get a series messages e-mailed to me all named msg0100.wav but only the last one is saved to disk (and viewable in the ARI). Delete after e-mail is not enabled.
Not sure if this has any correlation but in VMail Settings, maxmsg is set (by default) to 100 but I don’t have near 100 messages in the box. But the highest message is named msg0100.wav and that’s the one getting written over.
Is there a process that periodically re-numbers the messages?
Does anyone know how the filename is generated or why this might be happening?
“Comedian mail” the voicemail engine of Asterisk carefully renames all messages as msg0000.* (there will be a .txt and one or more .wav, .WAV etc. depending on how you set up voicemail.conf) as the oldest in any of the folders in /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/(extension)/ structure and each later message as 0000+1 etc. So msg0100.wav is the 101st. message, this shouldn’t happen as the default is 100 messages and then no more are taken when maxmsg(=100) is hit, did you change ANYTHING from your base distribution’s setup ?
No changes that were not done through FPBX. Modified emalbody & emailsubject but that was a year or so ago. I’m going to try setting maxmsg to 200 to see if that would make a difference but haven’t had a chance yet.
What I thought was strange is my mailbox contains non-sequential file names (I delete some messages & save others). As an example: msg0003., msg0042., msg0044., msg0057., msg0099., msg0100.
If I understand correctly, the non-sequential file names are typical so you could have msg 0300.* as an example, with maxmsg set to 100, if msg 0299.* had not been deleted as long as there are less than 100 messages in the box. Is that correct? The existing messages are not re-numbered?
So I changed maxmsg to 200 & now my next VM is recorded as 0101.*
Not sure what to make of it. Could this possibly be a bug in Comedian mail? I suspect unlikely as it’s seems mature enough it would have already been discovered.
