I think you're confused about how it works. When someone leaves a
voicemail, Asterisk sends a notification email, by piping an email to
the defined mailcmd (by default, again, 'sendmail -t')...which is
exactly what you're "wishing" it did....maybe you need to do some more
reading?

Why do you think it works in a different way?
