I just looked this up today for someone else.  You configure the phone 
or the registrar in Asterisk's sip.conf file:


[cisco-Jamey.Hicks]
type=peer
username=jamey.hicks
host=10.11.0.193  ; SIP registrar
mailbox=7922        ; Mailbox for message waiting indicator


Asterisk is sending a notify to my AOR with these headers:

Event: message-summary
Content-Type: application/simple-message-summary

and an example notify body:

Message-Waiting: no
Voicemail: 0/12
