Re: [asterisk-users] send voicemail to multiple emails

[vip killa]

I understand now the need for "externnotify" to run on vm check is to update
MWI. But I agree with M Hulber, an extra variable would be nice to tell the
script why "externnotify" was called...

Instead of picking from multiple scripts, send the action to the script 
in a variable like the dial status

to run one script on a new vm, and a different one on a checked vm,

The 'difference' between enhancing mailcmd and changing
externotify is that the enhancement can be contributed and
accepted into the source so everybody can use it and the Asterisk
developers will maintain it for you while your change will always
be yours alone to remember to re-apply and update with each

Re: [asterisk-users] send voicemail to multiple emails

[Andrew Thomas]

One of those points being to turn off a MWI if the total number of msgs
reaches 0.

Not everyone uses the same extension number for the user as for the
device they are on (think hot-desking).

I'm glad you got it to work your way :)

The point of it is to run whenever there is a potential change in state.
It runs after someone checks voicemail, because checking voicemail can
clear new messages (or change the number of new messages).  You are
certainly welcome, in the external notification script to exit early, if
you determine that further action is not necessary.

The idea that we even need an extra flag for this is ridiculous.  If
there is that much penalty in starting up another script instance,
you're using the wrong scripting language or the wrong machine.

Re: [asterisk-users] send voicemail to multiple emails

If you want externnotify to not fire when someone checks then put in a new 
option in voicemail.conf to have it work that way. Then contribute that change 
and it might be accepted.

externnotify_on_check: yes|no

or some such thing.

I already am using 'distribution groups', the point is I want 2 or more

I've already figured out how i'm going to do this... i ended up modify

will send out the emails and other notifications...

So why not simply go back to square one and create a 'distribution
group' e-mail address - and send to that?

 

You've probably realised by now that if you want * to do something it
doesn't already do - you have to write that bit yourself.

 

Good luck.

We are talking about "mailcmd" not "externnotify" 

I am aware of extennotify, problem is, it runs script when someone

left

Not quite true.  I use a PHP script to do my processing (called from

$number_of_messages = $argv[3];

Self explanatory really.

It's actually what you're going to end up doing, whether you do it on
the MTA level or your code it into your script that you execute instead
of sendmail -f.  Currently, there is no way to natively have asterisk
send one voicemail to multiple email addresses.

What's probably going to work best for you since you seem to like
program your own scripts (and I'm not talking an AGI here, I'm talking
either pure bash, php, perl, or whichever you prefer), is to change the
mailcmd= option inside voicemail.conf and replace it with a script of
your own design.  I'm not sure off the top of my head which variables
are passed to the command, but you could always write a simple script
that just outputs all arguments to see and go from there.  My guess is
you're going to at the least get the preconfigured email address and the
contents of your emailsubject and emailbody options (both of which have
the option of passing multiple useful variables).

Ah, there was the problem, apparently somewhere along the way the fact
that your complaint was with externnotify and not mailcmd got lost.

Now "externnotify" is called by asterisk only when there is a new message

Re: [asterisk-users] send voicemail to multiple emails

[vip killa]

I'm not confused about this...
Everytime a voicemail is left, I need asterisk to run a script that will
query a database, and according to those results perform various actions.
These actions include calling a number and connecting it directly to
voicemailmain and/or sending out multiple emails... I'm able to accomplish
this using mailcmd, reading the STDIN, parsing out what i need such as the
mailbox but I'm not sure how stable this method is I'd rather use
externnotify because it is designed to a run script

I think you're confused about how it works. When someone leaves a
voicemail, Asterisk sends a notification email, by piping an email to
the defined mailcmd (by default, again, 'sendmail -t')...which is
exactly what you're "wishing" it didmaybe you need to do some more
reading?

Why do you think it works in a different way?

Would be so much simpler if "mailcmd" acted just like "externnotify" or
"externnotify" only ran when a message was left but not when someone checks
their voicemail...

That's pretty much where you're at. What gets passed to STDIN is an
email, it's not set up for use by a script. Remember, what you're doing
is asking Asterisk to do something out of the ordinary, hence why having
an email alias is typically the best solution.

Re: [asterisk-users] send voicemail to multiple emails

[vip killa]

We are talking about "mailcmd" not "externnotify"
I am aware of extennotify, problem is, it runs script when someone checks
their voicemail, i need a script to run only when a voicemail is left

Re: [asterisk-users] send voicemail to multiple emails

[Andrew Thomas]

Not quite true.  I use a PHP script to do my processing (called from
voicemail.conf [externnotify = /usr/local/bin/vmnotify.php]).

The main three lines are:

$vm_context = $argv[1];
$extension = $argv[2];
$number_of_messages = $argv[3];

Self explanatory really.

It's actually what you're going to end up doing, whether you do it on
the MTA level or your code it into your script that you execute instead
of sendmail -f.  Currently, there is no way to natively have asterisk
send one voicemail to multiple email addresses.

What's probably going to work best for you since you seem to like
program your own scripts (and I'm not talking an AGI here, I'm talking
either pure bash, php, perl, or whichever you prefer), is to change the
mailcmd= option inside voicemail.conf and replace it with a script of
your own design.  I'm not sure off the top of my head which variables
are passed to the command, but you could always write a simple script
that just outputs all arguments to see and go from there.  My guess is
you're going to at the least get the preconfigured email address and the
contents of your emailsubject and emailbody options (both of which have
the option of passing multiple useful variables).

It's probably easiest to set up a user on your mail server to receive the 
voicemail messages that are meant for multiple recipients, then just use a 
procmail recipe on that user's account to send copies to everyone else who 
needs one.  Something like this;

:0:
* From:.*asterisk
!anna@localhost bob@localhost char...@some.place.else dave@localhost

This is all from memory, so be sure to read `man procmail` .

To save space on the mail server, you might want to pipe it through a script 
which strips off the attachment and saves it to a password-protected folder 
where apache can serve it up by HTTP, then notify the intended recipients 
with a short message  (but note I grew up in the days of kilobytes aot 
gigabytes, so this might be overkill).

Easy for you and easiest to configure are two different things. Aliasing
email addresses to multiple addresses is not a problem for me, so I
shared what I know.

You could also just replace the mailcmd (usually sendmail -t) with a
script that you wrote (or even application, if you care to compile
something) that would take care of the functionality you wish.

If you don't think that's easy, just ignore my message, we're not here
to compare skill levels.

That does not sound easy... besides these email addresses would be taken
from a MySQL database.

 

The easiest way would be to set up an alias in your MTA configuration.
That way, you could configure the mailbox for the alias email address
and copies would be sent to all addresses in the alias definition.

[Danny Nicholas] 

Actually, it is MUCH easier than it sounds.  Instead of sending an email to
b...@example.com, send it to account...@example.com (set this up in
users.conf)

That is a grand suggestion - as much as I like Asterisk, it is always easier
to let Linux do the grunt work when applicable.

The easiest way would be to set up an alias in your MTA configuration.
That way, you could configure the mailbox for the alias email address
and copies would be sent to all addresses in the alias definition.

Is there a way for asterisk's voicemail to send an email (including
voicemail attachment) to multiple email addresses? 

[Danny Nicholas] 

If you set up a "mail group" that might do it.  I personally do this with an
AGI, but then I work too hard.
