Obviously you do have a problem accessing your voicemail, else you would not

It's giving you access to the voicemailmain application. What is the
mailbox? Is it PSTN3434 like your caller ID? If you are calling in from
(presumably) "any" phone does it make sense to use the caller id as the
mailbox number? Why not use this:

[voicemail]
> exten => 1000,1,NoCDR()
> exten => 1000,2,Answer()
> exten => 1000,3,VoicemailMain(${CALLERIDNUM})
>
> [disa-access]
> include => tollfree
> exten => 1000,1,VoicemailMain()



You will have to enter the mailbox number now as well as the password, so
instead of being protected by two passwords it is not protected by two
passwords AND the mailbox number. So you can remove the disa and the hacker
still has to know two unique numbers to access the voicemail... same amount
of security.
