For those who may not read -Users, there is a patch on Mantis 
(http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=4371)

Which includes several features.

1.  Support for central voicemail server(s) with remote server 
notification via IAX

In other words, this patch allows you to configure an Asterisk server as 
a central voicemail server and to send out voicemail notification to 
remote Asterisk servers who can then pass the notification on to local 
clients.

2. Diaplan command to update voicemail pointers

The patch includes a dialplan command (ChangeMailbox) which allows you 
to change both the central voicemail server as well as the remote 
clients mailbox pointers.  In other words, you can add/move 'mailbox=' 
fields via the dialplan.

3. Entry into dial plan upon device registration or loss of registration

This function allows you to configure a dialplan context in which SIP or 
IAX devises will activate a dialplan thread allowing you to execute any 
non-audio stream dependant dialplan command(s).  An example might be 
identifying the location of the registration and using the changemailbox 
command to direct the correct voicemail indication to the registering 
device.

We need community support if we want to get this added to asterisk.  
Please take a gander.  I also have a patch against CVS head 05-02-2005 
if you want to test against CVS HEAD prior to all the function changes.  
Configuration information included in the comments of the patch.
