We noticed issues with voicemail and somehow looks like voicemail.conf has been overwritten:

;!
;! Automatically generated configuration file
;! Filename: voicemail.conf (/etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf)
;! Generator: AppVoicemail
;! Creation Date: Thu Mar 20 06:48:16 2014
;!



i saw a bug for 1.4 and realtime but our version is 10.12.3 and we are not using realtime.

anyway to prevent AppVoicemail ro auto generate files?

passwordlocatio seems to be related to vmsecret

from voicemail.conf sample :

; passwordlocation=spooldir
                    ; Usually the voicemail password (vmsecret) is stored in
                    ; this configuration file.  By setting this option you can
                    ; specify where Asterisk should read/write the vmsecret.
                    ; Supported options:
                    ;   voicemail.conf:
                    ;     This is the default option.  The secret is read from
                    ;     and written to voicemail.conf (or users.conf).
                    ;   spooldir:
                    ;     The secret is stored in a separate file in the user's
                    ;     voicemail spool directory in a file named secret.conf.
                    ;     Please ensure that normal Linux users are not
                    ;     permitted to access Asterisk's spool directory as the
                    ;     secret is stored in plain text.  If a secret is not
                    ;     found in this directory, the password in
                    ;     voicemail.conf (or users.conf) will be used.
                    ; Note that this option does not affect password storage for
                    ; realtime users, which are still stored in the realtime
                    ; backend.



but the issue i was explaining was voicemail.conf getting overwritten   apparently by appvoicemail

looking more into this, looks like this is not a issue, its related to users changing voicemail password from handset, asterisk rewrites the file.
