[asterisk-users] Zap Channel and VM problem

[Andrew Joakimsen]

In voicemail.conf set maxsilence=5, it will stop the voicemail recording
after 5 seconds.


http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+config+voicemail.conf
maxsilence Maxsilence defines how long Asterisk will wait for a contiguous
period of silence before terminating an incoming call to voice mail. The
default value is 0, which means the silence detector is disabled and the
wait time is infinite. Maxsilence takes a value of zero or a positive
integer value which is the number of seconds of silence to wait before
disconnecting.
