[Asterisk-Users] Avoiding queue retries without hangs?

[Bruno Hertz]

Talking * 1.0.12 here.

Problem: I'd like to avoid retries with queue, i.e. if members choose to
ignore a call they should not be bothered again. On the other hand,
when a call times out according to the Queue(...) timeout, the call
should proceed to voicemail.

Setting retry in queue.conf to a high value unfortunately doesn't solve
the problem. More specifically, the timeout t given to Queue(...|t)
doesn't govern the retry value, and especially when retry > t incoming
calls just hang in case nobody picks up, and do not proceed to
voicemail.

Especially, t does not set a hard limit for in queue stay time.

Anybody found a way around this (bug?), i.e. avoiding retries with
Queue(...|t) properly timing out at the same time ?

Thanks, Bruno.

PS: fyi, Qeue option 'n' has no impact on the above situation.
