What about this scenario?
User A calls User B. User A and User B are registered on the same
Asterisk system.
User B does an attended transfer, and transfers the call to user C,
who is registered on a different asterisk system.
You set the accountcode to be user B's account code, as user B will
be responsible and billed for this call leg.
You then do a DUNDi lookup, and get an IAX path to user C on the
second asterisk system.
You dial user C. At this point, no account code was passed with IAX
between the two Asterisk systems.
How can user B be billed for the call???
Consider a more common case:
User A uses their local Asterisk (B) to call PSTN Number Z via a
trunk to a provider gateway
running asterisk (C).
If Account code is settable remotely, we can't trust it for billing.
User A inserts an account code into their IAX message, it travels
through both IAX connections
and messes up the billing in C ? That's why the account code isn't
passed.
