[Asterisk-Users] SER or not to SER?

[Iqbal]

Hi

Thanks for the reply, I have tried failure_route, however I think I am
putting the intial detection in the wrong place, since nuthing gets sent
to asterisk, on no answer

---
if (uri=~"^sip:\+?[0-9]+ at domain.com" ) {
       log(1, "Forwarding to PSTN\n");
        t_relay_to_udp("213.166.5.135","5060");
        t_on_failure("6");


         break;
    };

this condition me thinks will never be met, i also tried doing the
t_on_failure part early in my main route, where it looks up to see if
user is part of voicemail group, but again that would not work simply
becauise the pstn number that is dialed will never be part of my group.
What I need to work out is how after the invite and forward to the cisco
box happens (as the code above does), can I detect that no answer
happened, and then drop it into the failure section

tks
