But now when I think about it, why won't asterisk queue the mail? The
message itself is stored in the mailbox. So Asterisk only needs to
remember where it is stored.

Basically:

If the sendmail command returns an error, The voicemail app knowss it
need to be queued. So it remembers the path to the message and the
details of the message in a queue. 

Every once in a while there is an attempt to re-end messages in that
"queue".

If someone checks the messages in the mailbox, any waiting messages
should be invalidated.


Anybody feels like trying to see if this is close to implementable?
