UM 2010 voicemail delivery failure to Hub Transport

With voicemail delivery issues, the first place to verify is to go to the voicemail folder under \Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\UnifiedMessaging\

If the folder is empty then the voicemail files have left the UM and on its way to the Hub Transport.

If you see voicemail audio files there it means the connection between UM and HT is broken somewhere. This can arise because of one of the following scenarios.

  1. The HT receive connector is mis-configured. Check the AUTH on the receive connectors
  2. Verify if you can telnet on hub transport's IP and port number 25
  3. Verify if HT FQDN is resolving to the correct IP
  4. Check if any anti-virus software is installed

As an example, see the following events that may come when voicemail delivery is failing.

In the above example, uninstalling the anti-virus software and rebooting the UM server helped. Apparently, there were recent anti-virus definitions applied to the UM server that may cause this.
