[Asterisk-Users] anyone use mailboxexists?

I think the "show application mailboxexists" documentation is wrong.  I
believe it's the other way around.  It does exits? Jump to next
priority.  It doesn't?  Jump to n+101.  Here's my extension macro (sift
out the forwarding stuff if you don't like that), and it works:

[macro-stdexten]
exten=s,1,MailboxExists(${MACRO_EXTEN:3}@${MACRO_CONTEXT})	;If
mailbox exists continue at 2, otherwise goto 102
exten=s,2,NoOp							;Filler
exten=s,3,NoOp							;Filler
exten=s,4,NoOp							;Filler
exten=s,5,NoOp							;Filler
exten=s,6,DBget(temp=CFIM/${ARG1})				;Get
CFIM key, if not existing, goto 107
exten=s,7,Dial(${TRUNK}/9${temp})
;Unconditional forward
exten=s,8,NoOp							;Filler
exten=s,9,Dial(${ARG2},25,rtT)				;Dial device for
25 seconds, goto 10 if busy, goto 110 if unavailable
exten=s,10,NoOp							;Filler
exten=s,11,DBget(temp=CFBS/${ARG1})				;Get
CFBS key, if not existing, goto 112
exten=s,12,Dial(${TRUNK}/9${temp})				;Forward
on busy or unavailable
exten=s,102,DBget(temp=CFIM/${ARG1})			;Get CFIM key,
if not existing, goto 203
exten=s,103,Dial(${TRUNK}/9${temp})
;Unconditional forward
exten=s,104,Dial(${ARG2},120,rtT)				;Dial
device for 120 seconds, goto 105 if busy, goto 205 if unavailable
exten=s,105,DBget(temp=CFBS/${ARG1})			;Get CFBS key,
if not existing, goto 206
exten=s,106,Dial(${TRUNK}/9${temp})				;Forward
on busy or unavailable
exten=s,107,Goto(s,9)						;Goto 9
exten=s,110,Voicemail(u${MACRO_EXTEN:3}@${MACRO_CONTEXT})	;To VM
if unavailable
exten=s,111,Hangup						;Hang up
the channel when vm exits
exten=s,112,Voicemail(b${MACRO_EXTEN:3}@${MACRO_CONTEXT})	;To VM
if busy
exten=s,113,Hangup						;Hang up
the channel when vm exits
exten=s,203,Goto(s,104)						;Goto
104 for accounts w/out vm
exten=s,205,Busy()						;Busy
signal if busy & no vm
exten=s,206,Busy()						;Busy
signal if no answer in 2 min & no vm

It's a little ugly w/all those NoOps, but I think I need those to get
the priorities right.
