SIP (and other protocols) should probably have a Voicemail
header which tells the other party if it's ok to answer the
call by automated means.
"Allow-Automated-Answer: voicemail, queue"
or some such.

	SIPAddHeader(Allow-Automated-Answer: no);
	Dial(SIP/${agent});

And it should be against regulation to let your voicemail or queue
answer a call if explicitly told not to do so.

I wonder if there is an RFC.
