Mimes are evil you see.

May 28, 2008 – 7:50 pm

So my nifty Asterisk 1.5 server is up and running great for Wikimedia. In fact, so great that the 48 hours I set aside to implement it were too much, I had it up, and all the phones upgraded in 6 leisurely hours. Of course, every phone system has issues and tweaks, but my biggest issue at the moment is the damned voicemail emails are not attaching things correctly! 99% of the attachments are fine, but 1% of them are like this:

Exim is splitting it into a multi-part message, and then pushing out the first part and nothing else? These files should not be hitting above the 50 MB attachment limit, but I suppose they are. So now I need to take up some more of Mark’s time to help me with this, as I am a damned Exim newb and he is our mail administrator.

UPDATE:

Mark says Exim is not the culprit, Asterisk is. As Exim is his baby, I am inclined never to argue with Mark about Exim.

So now I am following up with my pal Jared over at Digium. Jared has not seen this, but it may have something to do with the corrupted callerid information. He is going to do some testing on his end and see what arises.

MORE UPDATE:

I finally dug in and compared the emails with the call records, and was able to find the thing that was common in all of them. I then submitted the bug (linked here) to Digium’s Bug Tracker.
