Here's a small question for fun and profit:
How many known remote holes are in the SIP channel of Asterisk 1.0.7?

What CLI prompt exactly? Asterisk? Linux? (as root?)

Can you edit voicemail.conf ?
What you suggest is much more complicated. All you need is a local
command to relay mail outside. Which can be something as simple as ssmtp
to a near-by SMTP server. Theoretically it can even be a home-brewed
script that uses nc (netcat) or even telnet to send the bits to be
handled on a different computer.
