  • Recipients accounts were deleted or suspended. Replace the users in the recipient list. Go to the autoattendant's Send to Voicemail section and add different people to the Voicemail recipients field.
  • Recipients are over their email limit. If a user gets too many voicemails per hour, email delivery stops.
