Give the users a voicemailbox with the same number as their
callerid number.

Then add something like this in your extensions.conf (taken
from my own private setup)

exten => 8500,1,VoicemailMain(${CALLERIDNUM})

On another system I implemented it so users call their own
extension number to reach voicemail:

exten => 2001/2001,1,VoicemailMain(2001)

The first method is easier in a larger setup, since it
matches all users/voicemailboxes with only one line in
extensions.conf

Good luck
