[asterisk-users] Voicemail Password

[Jonathan Thurman]

I believe that 'externpasscheck' was added in the 1.6 branch.  Since we use
this, I wrote a quick perl script that checks for password length,
difficulty, repeated digits, etc. which are required for us.  If you get it
back-ported to the version you are on you can have the script, just contact
me off-list.  This is probably one of the best features added to
app_voicemail for 1.6.
