I'm looking for pointers, best practices or experiences from SER users
who are using Asterisk for voicemail-only in their SER setup,
especially when it comes to planning username/extension/mailbox naming
schemes.
This is for a large-scale deployment (10K+ users) so I want to get it
right the first time. Many of my users will have DIDs tied to their
account while others will not.
Are there any advantages/disadvantages to having alpha-numeric SER
usernames and using aliases for DID numbers?
I'm not sure if it matters, but we will be using a third party PSTN
provider and will need to support DIDs from multiple countries.
Also, are there any scripts available to automatically create an
Asterisk voicemail box when a new user is added to SER?
As always, your input is greatly appreciated!

I use numbers for all usernames in ser, and hence voicemail boxes in
asterisk, makes it easier. All aliases are names, hence both work.
DID in separate table which is mapped to subscriber just like alias is,
hence I do two lookups, one in aliases and one in DiD_table, I was going
to drop aliases altogether , and may do in the future, but for those
using softphones it's easier.
As for updating get asterisk to read from mysql, and then when you add a
user simply create the voicemail entry in there.

Hi Iqbal,
Speaking of users registered in SER with Asterisk voicemails, how
would you allow calls from external domains to reach your user's
voicemail, considering those callers don't have an asterisk account?
Isn't it Asterisk will prompt "403 Forbidden"?

I just set up Asterisk to handle voicemail in a rather simple fashion. The
mailboxes on the Asterisk box are set up with the same number as the phone
number for the local SER user. If the SER user is in the asterisk group (a
sort of enhanced email compared to the basic SEMS that I have going), then it
simply passes the data on to the asterisk server much the way I'd forward to
another gateway provider:
if(is_user_in("Request-URI", "asterisk"))
{
setflag(23);
};
Later on where I'd forward to voicemail, I'd just call:
if(isflagset(23))
{
rewritehostport("10.1.1.25:5090");
forward(uri:host,uri:port);
break;
};
Where the 10.1.1.25 would be the IP of your asterisk server.
If you set up the extension in asterisk (since no one's actually logged ON to
the box) and set up the sip.conf right (which takes only some minor changes
for port or codecs if you WANT them), then it forwards right there to the
voicebox and says "The person at extension BLAH is unavailable.... etc, etc"
Very simple, really.

external domains to reach my users voicemail, why would I want to do
that...have I missed a trick.
Are ytou saying users from voip provider ABC , should be able to pikc up
voicemail from voip provider DEF...or are you saying that a user should
be able to get his voicemail from using a mobile handset

No. I'm just asking how does users from other domains can leave message
to asterisk voicemail?

Hi Iqbal,
Thanks for the info!
I now have all SER users setup with numeric usernames, and have
asterisk reading from mysql, so updates are easy. I am still a little
concerned about the DIDs and alpha aliases. Maybe you can shed some
light on things...
What was the reason for putting your DIDs in a seperate table? I am
currently using the aliases table to store both alpha (softphones) and
numeric (DID) aliases. I am using SER's numeric SIP usernames for my
asterisk mailboxs/extensions. Is there anything I should be concerned
about with this setup?
One fear I have is that at some point my SIP usernames will be
confused with real world DIDs. For example, if I have a the SIP
username 3331234... If this number is actually a real PSTN phone
number, I can see this causing problems as SER matches the username
before looking up aliases.
